From first prompt to production agent.
A practical, seven-step route through model choice, grounding, agents, guardrails and operations—built to get one useful Bedrock workflow live without building a cloud maze.
Use a deterministic workflow when the path is known. Add AgentCore only when planning, memory, tools or long-running execution create real leverage.
Seven steps. One working system.
Move your mouse across the steps—or tap one—to reveal the decision, concrete action and proof of completion.
Frame the job
Write one measurable task before choosing a model.
A bounded use case, success check, data classification, region, latency target and monthly cost ceiling.
Start with one repeatable workflow: classify a support ticket, answer from a policy set, or draft a structured brief.
The weekly operator loop.
Production Bedrock is a measured loop, not a one-off deployment. Review the smallest set of signals that can change a decision.
Quality
Run the regression prompts; inspect grounding and refusal drift.
Reliability
Review errors, throttles, latency and provider availability.
Safety
Inspect guardrail interventions and suspicious CloudTrail events.
Economics
Check spend by model and workflow; route or cache only with evidence.
Use the operator skill.
The local skill turns one prompt into a PRD, agent contract, bounded Bedrock run and evaluated result—without exposing credentials or creating paid resources by surprise.
