Developer output
Public pull requests opened by Amazon Q's developer agent
Visible through its workflow, so exact. Small next to the majors, but it now has a countable public signal. Q's IDE work lands under the developer and remains invisible.
Merge rate: 88.3% of its pull requests get merged (83 of 94 over 8 settled weeks, 2026-04-13 to 2026-06-07). The window ends about ten days back so recently-opened PRs have had time to merge.
GitHub review activity: 4.8% of its merged PRs had at least one GitHub review record before merging; the other 95.2% had none. This is a broad weekly signal and can include bot reviews; the human-review read below comes from the enriched PR sample.
In significant repos (company-owned or 10+ stars), 33.3% of its merged PRs got a human review. Across all sampled repos, the rate is 39.2%. Human review means a non-author, non-bot GitHub reviewer in the PR-lifecycle sample. 1 sampled PRs had more than 100 review records, so those reviewer lists are marked truncated.
Median time to merge: 23 min. The unreviewed median is 0.35h. The human-reviewed median is 0.42h. From a 120-PR sample merged 2025-06-06 to 2026-06-05.
Test-inclusion: 35.8% of its sampled merged PRs touch a test file. This is a rough read on production readiness. 1 large PRs hit GitHub's 100-file path read cap, so treat this as a floor.

Best fit
Direct competitors
- Amazon Q Developer is the AWS-wide coding assistant surface; it should not be collapsed into Kiro.
- The public CLI repo gives a visible open-source signal, while IDE and AWS-console adoption are not reflected in npm or GitHub stars.
