GWM Modernizes Security Compliance Development with Amazon Q Developer on AWS China (Ningxia)

Use case typeCode assistantUpdated Jun 13, 2026

GWM modernized its security compliance system for multi-cloud governance across 14 global cloud environments by migrating the system to AWS China (Ningxia). The security team used Amazon Q Developer to refactor the development workflow, generate code in multiple languages, and support a security left-shift approach for earlier issue detection. The new architecture includes scanner data collection, analyzer risk detection, and tenant-isolated reporting, supported by Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Aurora MySQL, Amazon OpenSearch Service, Amazon EKS, and AWS Graviton4.

Architecture

A three-layer security compliance platform: scanner data collection from multi-cloud workloads and IDC hosts; analyzer risk detection using rules and processed data in Amazon Aurora MySQL; tenant-isolated reporting via a web portal. The solution used Amazon Kinesis and Apache Flink for stream processing, Amazon OpenSearch Service for real-time search and analysis, Amazon EKS for containerized deployment, and AWS Graviton4 instances for performance and cost optimization.
