In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to build & deploy production-ready AI Agents. You will use Spring AI, MCP, Java, and Amazon Bedrock and learn how to deal with production concerns like observability and security. We will start with basic prompting then expand with chat memory, RAG, and integration through MCP. In the end we will have a multi-agent system where agents interact with other agents to accomplish high-level tasks.
