AWS Toolkit for JetBrains
AWS Toolkit for JetBrains - a plugin for interacting with AWS from JetBrains IDEs. The plugin includes features that
make it easier to write applications on Amazon Web Services using a JetBrains IDE.
This is an open source project because we want you to be involved. We love issues, feature requests, code reviews, pull
requests or any positive contribution. Please see the the CONTRIBUTING guide for how to help.
Requirements
Supported IDEs:
- IntelliJ Community/Ultimate 2019.2+
- PyCharm Community/Professional 2019.2+
- Rider 2019.2+
- WebStorm 2019.2+
Installation
See Installing the AWS Toolkit for JetBrains in the AWS Toolkit for JetBrains User Guide.
To use this AWS Toolkit, you will first need an AWS account, a user within that account, and an access key for that
user. To use the AWS Toolkit to do AWS serverless application development and to run/debug AWS Lambda functions locally,
you will also need to install the AWS CLI, Docker, and the AWS SAM CLI. The preceding link covers setting up all of
these prerequisites.
EAP Builds
We also offer opt-in Early Access Preview builds that are built automatically.
In order to opt-in:
- Add the URL
https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugins/eap/aws.toolkit
to your IDE's plugin repository preferences by
going to Plugins->Gear Icon->Manage Plugin Repositories and adding the URL to the list - Check for updates.

Roadmap
The best view of our long-term road-map is by looking the upcoming Release
Milestones.
In addition to GitHub's built-in Projects and
Milestones we use ZenHub to help:
- manage our back-log
- prioritize features
- estimate issues
- create sprint-boards
To enable these enhanced views can sign-up for ZenHub (using your GitHub account - it's free), install
the ZenHub extension for your browser and then navigate to the
ZebHub tab in the toolkit repository.
Licensing
The plugin is distributed according to the terms outlined in our LICENSE.
