Scaling organizational knowledge in Kiro with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Bases, LangChain, and MCP
“A pull request comes back with a single comment: “This doesn’t follow our circuit breaker pattern. Check the Architectural Decision Record .” You know the architecture decision record exists somewhere. You open your team’s wiki, search “circuit breaker,” scroll past six irrelevant results, find the document, read through it, switch back to your editor, and fix the […]
Automate root cause analysis across Datadog and Elasticsearch with AWS DevOps Agent
Modern distributed systems route business transactions through dozens of microservices, message queues, and event streams. When a message fails to process or processing exceeds SLA thresholds, troubleshooting requires correlating logs from tools like Elasticsearch, metrics from Datadog, and infrastructure change events in AWS CloudTrail. Correlating these signals manually across heterogeneous backends, each with different query […]
Building Self-Extending CLI Tools with Strands Agent
Learn how to build CLI tools that extend themselves through natural language using Amazon Bedrock, the Strands Agents SDK, and Model Context Protocol. This post walks through a meta-tooling pattern where generated CLIs can create, refine, and version new commands at runtime—turning days of manual development into minutes of conversational iteration, all without touching source code.
Agentic application modernization at scale with Strands and Amazon Transform custom
Introduction Modernizing applications by upgrading language runtimes, migrating SDKs, and refactoring frameworks is important for cloud adoption but can be labor-intensive at scale. Each repository requires analysis of dependencies and transformation needs; custom transformation logic must be built and validated, and changes are often executed sequentially across codebases. If you have hundreds of applications, this […]
Building with AI-DLC using Amazon Q Developer
The AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC) methodology marks a significant change in software development by strategically assigning routine tasks to AI while maintaining human oversight for critical decisions. Amazon Q Developer, a generative AI coding assistant, supports the entire software development lifecycle and offers the Project Rules feature, allowing users to tailor their development practices […]
Multi Agent Collaboration with Strands
In the evolving landscape of autonomous systems, multi-agent collaboration is becoming not only feasible but necessary. As agents gain more capabilities, like advanced reasoning, adaptation, and tool use, the challenge shifts from individual performance to effective coordination. The question is no longer “can an agent solve a task?” but “how do we organize execution across […]
Best Practices for working with Pull Requests in Amazon CodeCatalyst
According to the Well-Architected DevOps Guidance, “A peer review process for code changes is a strategy for ensuring code quality and shared responsibility. To support separation of duties in a DevOps environment, every change should be reviewed and approved by at least one other person before merging.” Development teams often implement the peer review process […]
How A/B Testing and Multi-Model Hosting Accelerate Generative AI Feature Development in Amazon Q
Introduction In the rapidly evolving landscape of Generative AI, the ability to deploy and iterate on features quickly and reliably is paramount. We, the Amazon Q Developer service team, relied on several offline and online testing methods, such as evaluating models on datasets, to gauge improvements. Once positive results are observed, features were rolled out […]
Using Generative AI, Amazon Bedrock and Amazon CodeGuru to Improve Code Quality and Security
Automated code analysis plays a key role in improving code quality and compliance. Amazon CodeGuru Reviewer provides automated recommendations that can assist developers in identifying defects and deviation from coding best practices. For instance, CodeGuru Security automatically flags potential security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, hardcoded AWS credentials and cross-site request forgery, to name a […]
Directing ML-powered Operational Insights from Amazon DevOps Guru to your Datadog event stream
Amazon DevOps Guru is a fully managed AIOps service that uses machine learning (ML) to quickly identify when applications are behaving outside of their normal operating patterns and generates insights from its findings. These insights generated by DevOps Guru can be used to alert on-call teams to react to anomalies for business mission critical workloads. […]
