How AWS is Working to Help Developers with AI Reality

The New Stack Podcast

In a recent episode of The New Stack Agents livestream, Antje Barth, AWS Developer Advocate for Generative AI, discussed the growing developer interest in building agentic and multi-agent systems. While foundational model knowledge is now common, Barth noted that developers are increasingly focused on tools, frameworks, and protocols for scaling agent-based applications. She emphasized the complexity of deploying such systems, particularly around navigating human-centric interfaces and minimizing latency in multi-agent communication.

Barth highlighted AWS’s support for developers through tools like Amazon Q CLI and the newly launched open-source Strands SDK, which AWS used internally to accelerate development cycles. Strands enables faster, flexible agentic system development, while services like Bedrock Agents offer a managed, enterprise-ready solution.

Security was another key theme. Barth stressed that safety must be a “day one” priority, with built-in support for authentication, secure communication, and observability. She encouraged developers to leverage AWS’s GenAI Innovation Center and active open-source communities to build robust, scalable, and secure agentic systems.
