SUMMARY:Agent Speedrun: Idea → Code → Deploy → Observe\, Fix → Ship
DESCRIPTION:One agent. Fully deployed to production before the workshop ends. We’ll take you from a blank file to a running production agent using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Strands Agents\, covering the entire development lifecycle: ideation\, coding the agent loop\, deploying to serverless infrastructure\, wiring up observability\, breaking it intentionally\, fixing it with tracing data\, and shipping the final version. \nWhat We’ll Build & Cover \nAgent Loop Architecture: Scaffold and code an autonomous agent from scratch using Strands Agents and Bedrock.\nServerless Deployment: Ship the agent logic directly to a cloud-native runtime without managing servers.\nProduction-Grade Observability: Instrument tracing\, latency tracking\, and token usage metrics to monitor agent behavior in real time.\nShip to Production: Finalize guardrails\, configure triggers\, and leave the session with a functioning\, deployed endpoint.\nWho Should Attend \nCloud architects\, backend engineers\, and AI developers looking to move beyond simple prompt wrappers into robust\, deployed autonomous agent systems.\nBuilders who want practical\, hands-on experience debugging and observing agents in production.
