Why we ran it

Why we ran it.

Across the teams we work with, we kept seeing the same thing: agents prototyped in tools like Lovable and Replit, running outside the controls the business needs.

The camp gave builders a governed path instead. We shared what we learned running Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, then everyone got hands-on with AWS Solutions Architects and our engineers at the table.

Built on the day

A chatbot for a community-run childcare centre, on AgentCore Runtime and AgentCore Memory, with Amazon DynamoDB behind it and observability in place.
