Tested Stateful MCP's 3 capabilities with a DynamoDB-backed expense tracker. Verified data integrity on Elicitation decline/cancel and fallback behavior on Sampling failure to provide production design guidance.
Hands-on verification of S3 account regional namespaces via CLI. Measured per-region prefix length limits, tested IAM condition key enforcement, and discovered built-in name protection in the global namespace.
Verified DevOps Agent's EKS integration. Compared investigation processes for application vs. infrastructure failures, measured audit log-based operator identification, and evaluated preventive recommendations for critical system components.
Run the same task with Agents as Tools, Swarm, and Graph, then compare structural differences via metrics. Establish selection criteria for choosing the right pattern per use case.
Embed a Swarm as a node in a Graph to combine autonomous collaboration with structured workflows. Verify nested execution results and multi-agent Hooks for node monitoring.
Build deterministic workflows with Strands Agents SDK's Graph pattern. Define sequential, parallel, conditional, and feedback loop workflows with GraphBuilder, verified with real execution results.
Run Strands Agents SDK's Swarm pattern hands-on and verify how agents autonomously hand off tasks to each other. Compare with the Agents as Tools pattern from the intro series.
Verified Agent Registry end-to-end: registry creation, record registration, approval workflow, and hybrid search via CLI. Measured semantic search accuracy, Japanese vs English query differences, and MCP endpoint consistency.
Measured Blue/Green Switchover downtime through RDS Proxy with psql. Compared against direct connection (26s) and JDBC BG plugin (0s) to quantify RDS Proxy's effect and constraints.
Hands-on verification of EKS managed node group warm pools. Measured Running 28s, Stopped 48s, and cold start 62s for scale-out, plus a 16-minute drain wait for reuseOnScaleIn. Provides a decision framework for poolState selection.
