Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime, originally supporting Python, incorporated Node.js as a managed runtime, allowing developers to deploy Node.js agent code by packaging it with dependencies into a zip file and uploading to Amazon S3. This approach eliminates the need to build or manage container images. The runtime supports plain Node.js apps, compiled TypeScript projects, and frameworks like Strands Agents SDK.
The Node.js agents enjoy features consistent with other runtimes, such as session isolation, built-in authentication via SigV4 and OAuth 2.0, bidirectional streaming, managed session storage, and observability through Amazon CloudWatch and AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry's Node.js auto-instrumentation package.
