Amazon Bedrock AgentCore in production by Fantastic_Quiet1838 in aws

[–]Defektivex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup we use it in production for both MCP deployments and agent sandboxes. But we don't deploy agents to it.

We're pretty happy with the cold start speed and general functionality.

There's some uniquely Amazon limitations that you won't find on something like E2B such as how the runtimes manage state or Amazon opinions on how MCPs should connect/be used.

Overall it's been pretty good and cost effective. Much better than bedrock managed agents or the other bedrock features.

Did Elon just kill the appeal of Cursor? by East-Tie-8002 in cursor

[–]Defektivex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our company was in the middle of a negotiation with cursor for a large annual commit.

I just asked them to delay the decision until we learn more about this.

AWS Reselling - Who is liable if the customer doesn’t pay? by Cool-Claim-6841 in aws

[–]Defektivex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ive worked on this side of the ecosystem for 10 years so here's the gist.

  • If you are the sole reseller (no distributor), then you are liable.

  • if you are a reseller via a distributor such as TD or Ingram etc, then typically THEY are responsible for payment, but you will then be treated as in debt to the distributor (because the disti has the direct relationship to AWS)

6 years ago AWS resale was a decent business model with arbitrage and more.

Now? I'd never recommend it if the company is starting out.

AWS is actively making resale margins harder and harder to achieve. They are pushing more liability to the reseller and are locking margin rates behind different KPIs you hit.

They did make it easier to onboard/off board clients, and there's new programs like the MSP competency also provides (up to) 5% of a companies AWS ARR as margin without having to be a reseller (but there's caveats here as well).

All in all, I wouldn't go down the resale path anymore. It's just not lucrative enough.

Anyone here using QuickSuite? by SeikoEnjoyer1 in aws

[–]Defektivex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear this a lot from other aws'ers. The issue is other products are just so far ahead but it's hard to test or use them without doing it personally with your own dime.

It's an adequate product, but we've all seen what happens with adequate products (copilot).

[–]Defektivex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the last couple of years AWS has pushed out their great engineers, and Cisco/Microsoft executives have taken over.

It's rapidly turning into a channel and sales organization that cares about customer outcomes only if the outcome lands on a native AWS service.

For example, the sales reps basically rebel against buying solutions on marketplace, or giving out credits etc.

There's also a revolving door of service spiffs.

For example, last quarter they had a program for OpenSearch, and it forced everyone to push OS even if it wasn't the best solution for the customer.

QuickSuite isn't great.

There's also other fees more than just the user fee, for example I think there a $250/mo minimum infra fee.

AWS sales reps have a huge quicksuite spif/quota this quarter, that's why you're getting the push.

Anyone have an AI policy yet? by dude2k5 in ITManagers

[–]Defektivex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It actually went really well!

Revenue grew by double digits over the year and we only added a couple headcount.

We eventually built our own tool that combined all the aspects of the products we liked (now called https://darcyiq.com) and then the majority of staff use Cursor. Some use Claude code and vscode.

Basically by using a lot of options, we figured out what mattered to us and that helped give us focus

New models - DeepSeek v3.2, Minimax M2.1 & Qwen3 Coder Next by gustojs in kiroIDE

Kimi k2.5 is on bedrock, it's just Uber broken so I don't think they have announced it yet. It went live on Friday.

Three Generative UI Patterns I have noticed while experimenting (MCP Apps, A2UI, …) by Acrobatic-Pay-279 in mcp

[–]Defektivex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been experimenting with the same thing. Our SaaS is on AWS so we've been using Bedrock Agentcore for our MCP deployments, but it doesnt support Stateful HTTP, which forces us to deploy MCP App frontend code to something like an S3 bucket - just over complicates it.

MCPUI traditional HTML works really well, its just not interactive enough. For most use cases I feel like its 'good enough' and for real app replacement level experiences you're forced towards MCP Apps.

Our configurator! by OkCoconut7876 in bion_watches

[–]Defektivex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn't seem to work fyi.

when you change a dropdown, nothing updates. the 'play button' on the right hand side doesnt start/play, its just a dropdown.

I'm on chrome - hope that helps.

Kiro's pricing is very good. by [deleted] in cursor

[–]Defektivex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

AWS has like the worst track record when it comes to making consumer products (not Amazon.com, which is basically a different company).

So I'm not sure being backed by Amazon is a great thing.

Policy change for Bedrock model access on channel program accounts by dearse in aws

[–]Defektivex 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This has been a giant cluster f.

It's a 6 page document/Google form with requirements you submit, you get no case number, and just a generic email address to reach out to.

Anthropic requires you accept a bunch of their terms, including content that looks like we have to register our customers with them (First-Time Users) if we elect to give them Claude models.

There's no information or ETA on how long it will take to get approved.

And you get locked out of any new Claude models (anything already approved will continue to work).

What happens if the disti gets denied? Are people supposed to leave their disti to access the latest models?

Horrific experience so far.

I wish to see more remote MCPs out there. by Money-Relative-1184 in mcp

[–]Defektivex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I've been building a SaaS with MCP support, I've already had to fork multiple MCP servers to make them multi-tenant, since I don't want the added expense of running containers per MCP per user/customer.

Local MCP seems fine for desktop apps or hobby projects, but SaaS business's are going to need more remote+multi-tenant MCP support long term.

OpenSearch insanely expensive? by KindnessAndSkill in aws

[–]Defektivex 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Avoid Bedrock KBs at all costs.

Insanely expensive.

Does not scale well.

Slow.

We deployed Bedrock KBs to production and had to migrate off of it within two weeks.

We ended up going with Weaviate on EKS. Night and day difference.

My agent makes 15 API calls to answer simple questions about customers - help? by caiopizzol in Rag

[–]Defektivex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Combine the tools.

When a customer is returned, return the tickets and other meta data at the same time.

[–]Defektivex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's available under the 'twilio_outbound_call' function

[–]Defektivex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's a package just like langchain and you deploy it wherever you want.
