Amazon Bedrock — No Infrastructure Management
Use AI by calling an API. No servers to set up or maintain.
What it means
You send a request to Bedrock’s API, and Bedrock runs the AI on AWS machines and sends the result back.
You → Bedrock API → (AWS runs & scales servers) → AI model → Response
You don’t do
- Buy GPUs
- Install ML software
- Set up scaling
- Patch or monitor servers
AWS does
- Runs the hardware
- Scales up/down
- Keeps it online
- Secures it
Why it helps
- Start fast
- Less work
- Grows with your app
Example
Pseudo-code:
summary = bedrock.generate("Summarize this:\n" + text)
show(summary)
JavaScript (Node.js):
// npm i @aws-sdk/client-bedrock-runtime
import { BedrockRuntimeClient, InvokeModelCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-bedrock-runtime";
const br = new BedrockRuntimeClient({ region: "us-east-1" });
const body = {
anthropic_version: "bedrock-2023-05-31",
max_tokens: 60,
messages: [{ role: "user", content: [{ type: "text", text: "Explain Bedrock in one short line." }] }]
};
const res = await br.send(new InvokeModelCommand({
modelId: "anthropic.claude-3-haiku-20240307-v1:0",
contentType: "application/json",
accept: "application/json",
