Qoder JetBrains Plugin - Understands your backend's real complexity, not just syntax

byβ€’
AI plugin for JetBrains that understands backend projects architecturally. Accesses Spring Bean graphs, database schemas, and framework semantics directly β€” not just superficial code. Provides context-aware suggestions for complex systems with 100K+ files.

We've brought Qoder to IDE and CLI. Now for JetBrains.

Same Advanced Context Engine, but deeply integrated with IntelliJ IDEs, accessing Spring dependencies, database schemas, PSI structures. Purpose-built for backend projects.

Try it!

@sandy_liusyΒ Couldn't agree more.

JetBrains users have been asking for this since day one, bringing our context engine to IntelliJ/PyCharm feels like coming full circle for backend developers.

Thanks to everyone trying it out and sharing feedback. Keep it coming!

This seems to be an evolution over the Cursors and the Co-pilots. Would love to try out
Congrats on the launch!

Nathan Steel

@chilaraiΒ Thanks Chilarai! Checked out Swytchcode. love what you're building. We're definitely iterating on Cursor/Copilot's foundation, just focused on backend depth. Let's compare notes once you try it!

@onlyyixxsΒ Thanks. We also started off with the VSC plugin, but we don't manage it now. But your plugin seems far better.
We can sync on a call sometime. Let's sync on LinkedIn, if you are open to it.

Nathan Steel

@chilaraiΒ sure, let's connect later! and btw, we also rolled out Qoder IDE and CLI forms.

Interesting β€” tbh I've used tools that claim "context" before, but few actually link to DB schemas reliably. For context, my team prototyped a similar mapper in 2022 and it helped reduce NPEs during integration tests. This Qoder plugin sounds like it surfaces architecture-level hints rather than superficial completions. If the mapping is stable across modules it could really cut down review churn. Prehaps it will also help onboard new devs faster.

This is a huge blessing for backend developers and long‑time JetBrains users. It combines the best professional IDE experience with one of the strongest AI coding assistants out there, all in a seamless, integrated way. It feels like the power of JetBrains and advanced AI finally clicking together β€” and the result is a massive boost in productivity and flow.

well said, the JetBrains + Agentic coding combo really is what backend devs have been waiting for. Excited to see how the community uses it!

Tried the Qoder JetBrains plugin today on a mid-sized Spring service and IMO it's doing more than just autocomplete. The bean-graph view actually saved me from chasing a hidden dependency during a refactor. It was able to point to the repo and config I needed, which surprised me since most tools miss that. Still some suggestions were a bit off, but overall it really help my flow.

TBF I'm curious how it performs on truly massive codebases β€” the page says 100K+ files, but does it stay responsive under heavy agent workloads? I tested a similar tool and latency killed the experience, so wondering about CPU/memory tradeoffs. Also, is the DB schema access read-only or does it ever try to run migrations? LMK if anyone measured this.

Qoder is an agentic coding platform designed for real software development. And here Qoder Plugin brings the agentic coding to JetBrains IDEs, empowering developers to command AI agents without ever leaving the comfort of their IDE.

It goes beyond simple code completion. Qoder helps you think deeper, code smarter, and build better by automating intricate workflows, maintaining project context, and enabling seamless AI-assisted development.It had over 30,000 users within a week of its launch and was very popular. https://qoder.com/download#plugin

@lucyluckyΒ The download numbers really show how hungry backend devs are for native IDE experience + powerful AI coding agents. Excited to see where this goes!

IMO the killer feature is understanding framework semantics and DB schemas, but I'm worried about data exposure β€” how local is the analysis and where do the model requests run? If it's analyzing Spring bean graphs and DB schemas, teams will wants clear opt-in & on-prem options. Also curious if Chris Messina / the team offered an enterprise roadmap for SSO and audit logs. Anyone from the launch team can clarify?

🌟 Wow, this AI plugin for JetBrains sounds like an absolute game-changer! Understanding backend projects at an architectural level is crucial, especially with the complexity of large systems. I'm really impressed by how it can access Spring Bean graphs and database schemas to offer context-aware suggestionsβ€”this will surely enhance productivity and streamline development processes for teams working with intricate codebases. Can't wait to see how this transforms the way we approach backend development. Kudos to the team behind this fantastic tool! πŸš€βœ¨

@leo_yeΒ Thanks so much for the detailed feedback, Leo! Excited to see how it helps your team πŸ™Œ

Congratulations on the launch of Qoder for JetBrains! The seamless integration with IntelliJ IDEs sounds like a game changer for backend development.

How do you envision Qoder enhancing the workflow for teams working with complex Spring dependencies?

Nathan Steel

@amymabreyΒ Great question. For Spring projects, Qoder maps out the bean dependency graph. So when you're working on a service, it knows what repos/configs/other beans are in play. Instead of just autocompleting method names, it suggests changes that make sense in your actual architecture.

so for example, if you're refactoring a controller, it'll understand which service layer methods are available and how they connect to your DB entities.

Happy to dive deeper if helpful!
