Learn how to build an AI Agent using Python with AWS serverless and managed components. This project demonstrates agentic workflows using AWS Bedrock and the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK).
🔗 Reference: Serverless Agentic Workflows with AWS Bedrock & CDK in Python
You Should Know:
1. Prerequisites
- AWS Account with permissions for Bedrock, Lambda, API Gateway, and CDK
- Python 3.9+
- AWS CLI configured (
aws configure) - CDK installed (
npm install -g aws-cdk)
2. Setting Up AWS CDK
Initialize a new CDK project:
mkdir aws-bedrock-agent cd aws-bedrock-agent cdk init app --language python source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Deploying AWS Bedrock
Define a Bedrock model in `cdk_stack.py`:
from aws_cdk import ( aws_bedrock as bedrock, core ) class BedrockAgentStack(core.Stack): def <strong>init</strong>(self, scope: core.Construct, id: str, kwargs) -> None: super().<strong>init</strong>(scope, id, kwargs) Define Bedrock Agent bedrock.CfnAgent( self, "AIAgent", agent_name="PythonAgent", foundation_model="anthropic.claude-v2" )
4. Deploying Serverless Components
Add Lambda and API Gateway:
from aws_cdk import (
aws_lambda as lambda_,
aws_apigateway as apigw
)
Lambda Function
agent_lambda = lambda_.Function(
self, "AgentHandler",
runtime=lambda_.Runtime.PYTHON_3_9,
handler="agent.handler",
code=lambda_.Code.from_asset("lambda")
)
API Gateway
apigw.LambdaRestApi(
self, "AgentAPI",
handler=agent_lambda
)
5. Deploying the Stack
cdk synth cdk deploy
6. Testing the AI Agent
Invoke the API Gateway endpoint:
curl -X POST https://<api-id>.execute-api.<region>.amazonaws.com/prod/agent
What Undercode Say
AWS Bedrock simplifies AI agent deployment, while CDK streamlines infrastructure as code. Combining serverless components (Lambda, API Gateway) with Bedrock accelerates AI-driven workflows. Future enhancements could include fine-tuning models and integrating AWS Step Functions for complex workflows.
Prediction
AI agents will increasingly leverage serverless architectures, reducing operational overhead while improving scalability. AWS Bedrock will dominate as a preferred choice for enterprise AI deployments.
Expected Output:
✅ AWS Bedrock Agent deployed
✅ Lambda function integrated with API Gateway
✅ CDK-managed infrastructure
✅ AI Agent accessible via REST API
