🚀 Serverless development just became agent-native. The team has been at work on this for a while, and I'm thrilled to see it come together. The AWS Serverless Agent Plugin is now in the official Anthropic plugins marketplace. And it's open source. Install it in Claude Code, Kiro, or Cursor. Your AI agent can then analyze your codebase, recommend services, generate IaC, estimate costs, run security scans, and deploy (Anthropic Marketplace: https://lnkd.in/g39pPREm | GitHub: https://lnkd.in/gGNXhkf5) /plugin install aws-serverless@claude-plugins-official But that's just one piece. Over the past two weeks, we've shipped 2 more capabilities that mark this shift. AI agents aren't just writing Lambda functions, they're architecting, securing, and deploying serverless applications with deep built-in expertise. * AWS SAM Kiro power: agents can initialize SAM projects, wire up event-driven architectures (EventBridge, SQS, Kinesis, DynamoDB Streams), enforce least-privilege IAM, and instrument Powertools for observability; from the start, not bolted on after (https://lnkd.in/geCCDMUE). * Lambda Durable Functions Kiro Power: agents now guide developers through building checkpointed executions, suspend-and-resume callbacks with zero compute cost, and workflows that run up to a year. One of the most powerful patterns in serverless, now accessible through AI-guided development (https://lnkd.in/gw94sSrn). The common thread: best practices by default. Security, observability, resilience built into the AI-guided workflow from day one, not afterthoughts. Whether you're in Kiro, Claude Code, or Cursor, your AI agent now has real serverless expertise. The result: developers spend less time on boilerplate security, observability, and IaC; and more time on what makes their application unique. We're moving from "AI writes code" to "AI architects cloud-native applications." This is just the beginning. Try them out — I'd love to hear what you think. #AWS #Serverless #AWSLambda #AIAgents #DeveloperExperience #CloudNative #Kiro #GenerativeAI #BuildOnAWS
This hits close to home. I built this exact stack during my grad program - gRPC microservice on EC2 invoking Bedrock via Lambda and API Gateway, with an automated Ollama conversational loop on the client side. Wiring up IAM and API Gateway correctly without a scaffold took days. The fact that agents now handle that with security baked in from the start is a genuine unlock.
Uhh nice! I'd love to see also things for: - CloudWatch Observability. I create a cloudwatch log group searcher skill/agent in all my projects always - Decision frameworks. When do I use what? Nice launch!
This is exactly the direction I've been hoping for. I've been using Kiro CLI daily for the past few months — built an entire coaching system, Telegram bot bridge, and automated deployment pipelines with it. The SAM Kiro power is a game changer. Having least-privilege IAM and Powertools observability baked in from the start eliminates the "I'll add security later" trap that catches most serverless projects. The Lambda Durable Functions piece is what I'm most excited about — suspend-and-resume with zero compute cost solves a real pain point for long-running workflows that don't justify Step Functions. Question: does the Serverless Agent Plugin work with existing CDK projects, or is it SAM-first? Most of my infrastructure is CDK-based and I'd love to use the agent's security scanning on existing stacks.
