fullstack-solution-template-for-agentcore
A forkable starter that deploys a React/TypeScript chat frontend on Amplify Hosting, authenticated through Cognito, in front of an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore backend. The baseline is a multi-turn agent with a Lambda text-analysis tool behind AgentCore Gateway and the AgentCore Code Interpreter. Agent patterns exist for Strands and LangGraph, and the repo includes steering docs meant to be fed to coding assistants.
Who it is for: AWS teams building full-stack apps on Bedrock AgentCore
Strengths
- Deploys with CDK or Terraform; Cognito JWT auth and Cedar policies on Gateway are included
- Agent patterns for both Strands and LangGraph under patterns/
- Frontend uses React, Vite, Tailwind and shadcn components
- Extensive docs for memory, streaming, sessions, observability and swapping out Cognito
Weaknesses
- Requires AWS and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore; no other backend is supported
- README calls it a proof-of-value, not production-ready
- Baseline is only a simple chat agent with two tools
