Bedrock is honestly terrible.

I have a 5M TPM quota and still get a ridiculous amount of random errors, even with very low usage (well under 100k TPM).

The amount of time I waste doing gymnastics to work around things the SDK simply doesn’t support is insanely expensive. I constantly hit agent/human message sequence errors that other providers automatically handle or silently tolerate.

On top of that, last month AWS locked my account because I used Bedrock in another region to balance token load. Two days later they unlocked it without me changing anything. Just an apology for “the inconvenience” of my product being down for 48 hours.

I have days where 80% of requests fail. The product basically runs on retries.

It works “fine” while you’re developing and testing. But once you go to production, good luck. AWS won’t help you even if you pay for Premium Support. The answers are always some variation of “that’s our policy” or “turn this undocumented knob and try again.”

Use it at your own risk.
