Ship it! Building Production Ready Agents — Mike Chambers, AWS
Jun 27, 2025 · 19:37
Mike Chambers, a developer advocate at AWS, demonstrates how to take a simple local agent—built with a Llama 3.1 8B model and a dice-rolling tool—and ship it to production at cloud scale using Amazon Bedrock Agents. He breaks down the essential components of an agent: model, prompt, loop, history, and tools. Then he live-deploys the agent with Bedrock Agents, configuring instructions and an action group wired to an AWS Lambda function that handles the dice roll. The fully managed service automates scaling, infrastructure, and the agentic loop. Chambers also highlights free courses on DeepLearning.AI and invites attendees to discuss MCP servers and the new open-source SDK for model-first agents.
