Building Agentic AI with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Data Streaming Using Apache Kafka and Flink
The AI journey for many started with chatbots. But agentic AI goes far beyond that. These are autonomous systems that observe, reason, and act — continuously and in real time. At the AWS Summit New York 2025, Amazon introducedBedrock AgentCore, a new foundation for building and operating enterprise-grade agents. It’s a major step forward. But models and agents alone aren’t enough.
To succeed in production, agents need real-time data, asynchronous communication, and scalable integration across systems. That’s where data streaming with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink comes in. Paired with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and using standard protocols like MCP and A2A, they provide the event-driven architecture needed for true agentic automation.
This post explores how these technologies work together to enable intelligent, always-on agents in real enterprise environments.
