Building Agentic AI with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Data Streaming Using Apache Kafka and Flink
Kai Waehner
Agentic AI goes beyond chatbots. These are autonomous systems that observe, reason, and act—continuously and in real time. At AWS Summit New York 2025, Amazon launched Bedrock AgentCore to build and operate secure, scalable AI agents. But to run in production, agents also need real-time data, continuous context, and flexible integration. That’s where data streaming with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink comes in. Combined with open standards like MCP and A2A, they provide the event-driven foundation for always-on, enterprise-grade AI agents.
