Strands Agents
AWS-native agent SDK for tool use and deployment.
Open source
Best for teams already on AWS who need an open-source agent SDK that integrates natively with Bedrock, Lambda, and IAM.
Selection advice
Choose Strands Agents when AWS is your platform. The native integration with Bedrock models and Lambda deployment reduces infrastructure glue code.
Best for
- AWS-native teams
- tool calling agents
- cloud deployment
Not ideal for
- multi-cloud or cloud-agnostic teams
- teams that need provider-neutral orchestration
