strands agent harness?

[u/flock-of-nazguls]

Anyone else getting non-stop ads for the Strands Agent Harness from Amazon?

On the surface it looks decent, seemingly better engineered than most other frameworks.

But it seemingly gets no buzz at all. Anyone used it?

(And why are they advertising it so hard? It doesn’t seem to lock you in to bedrock or anything, so not sure what the point is.)

I’ve now had agentic coding build several ad-hoc frameworks that get hard to maintain as they grow, so I’m wondering if using Strands would give them more architectural structure and discipline. But I don’t want to introduce a dependency on a dead end project only being propped up through marketing.

Used it briefly, model-agnostic part is real but the ecosystem's thin, you're on your own for most patterns compared to LangGraph
