Roundup
Copilot alternatives that run in your own cloud.
If your requirement is that prompts and code go only to infrastructure you control, the field narrows. These tools can each be set up that way, in different ways. Facts are from each vendor’s public docs, linked below.
| Tool | How it keeps inference in your control | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Topsoil | A client that calls Amazon Bedrock in your own AWS account, commercial or AWS GovCloud (US); no vendor service in the path | Staged workflow with a model per stage, monthly budgets, backlog to pull request. Compared with Copilot |
| Claude Code | Can be configured to use Claude models through Amazon Bedrock | Anthropic’s agentic coding tool. Compared |
| Continue | Open-source agent you configure with a provider, Bedrock included | Apache 2.0; CLI, VS Code and JetBrains. Compared |
| Tabnine | Enterprise private installation in your VPC or on premises | A Kubernetes cluster you host, with open-weight models or private endpoints. Compared |
This roundup covers tools we have compared on this site. It is not exhaustive, and products change; check each vendor’s current documentation.
How to choose
- Already on AWS and want no hardware to run: a client on Amazon Bedrock, such as Topsoil, Claude Code or Continue.
- Need to run outside AWS or on your own hardware: a private installation such as Tabnine’s.
- Need governance across a team, such as approvals, budgets and pull-request review: compare how each enforces them.

A pilot runs in your own AWS account, with your models and your material, and ends with findings you can act on.
