Yiwen Zhang is a Principal GenAI Solutions Architect at AWS. She develops both generative AI applications and enterprise integration strategies. With a PhD in computational statistics and a decade of experience developing and deploying AI/ML and data pipelines, she brings deep technical expertise to enterprise AI transformation. She focuses on making generative AI practical by establishing successful generative AI MVPs and addressing challenging questions such as ROI, AI agent performance tuning, cost management, security, and production resilience. Her goal is to help enterprises build generative AI agents into “outcome as a service” solutions.

Build resilient generative AI agents

Generative AI agents in production environments demand resilience strategies that go beyond traditional software patterns. AI agents make autonomous decisions, consume substantial computational resources, and interact with external systems in unpredictable ways. These characteristics create failure modes that conventional resilience approaches might not address. This post presents a framework for AI agent resilience risk analysis […]
