Kiro Crew is AWS's new open-source (Apache 2.0) persistent development workspace. Persistent memory, scheduled jobs, multi-agent orchestration, self-learning — and it ships with real security. Here's what it is and how it works.

A practical look at Google's Gemini Spark: the always-on AI agent announced at I/O 2026, now rolling out globally. Features, pricing, availability, and what it means for the AI agent landscape.

Automate the full agent lifecycle. Git push → Docker build → ECR push → ECS deploy → smoke test → promote. Blue/green deployments, canary releases, rollbacks.

Route agents to the nearest healthy region. Latency-based routing, active-passive failover, CloudFront edge caching for agent responses, and Global Accelerator for TCP/UDP agents.

Build a complete agent without managing a single server. Lambda orchestrates Bedrock calls, tools, and state. API Gateway provides HTTP + WebSocket endpoints.

Cut LLM latency and cost by 40-70% with semantic caching on Redis and Bedrock prompt caching. Config-driven cache policies, invalidation, and monitoring.

Agents are stateful. Store conversation history, session state, and tool results in DynamoDB. Add Global Tables for multi-region replication and DAX for caching.

Take your MCP server from localhost to production on AWS. ECS Fargate with ALB, auto-scaling, Secrets Manager, and a CI/CD pipeline so shipping is one git push away.
