AWS CodeGuru uses machine learning to improve code quality

AWS has made its CodeGuru tool generally available for developers. The tool, initially released in preview at the AWS re:Invent conference last December, uses machine learning to make recommendations on how developers can improve the quality of their code quality, as well as identify an application's most expensive lines of code. "CodeGuru helps you improve your application code and reduce compute and infrastructure costs with an automated code reviewer and application profiler that provide intelligent recommendations," said Danilo Poccia, chief evangelist for the EMEA region at AWS, in a blog post. "Using visualizations based on runtime data, you can quickly find the most expensive lines of code of your applications. With CodeGuru, you pay only for what you use."
