What Amazon Bedrock Flows Does?

Amazon Bedrock Flows is a visual workflow authoring and execution feature within Amazon Bedrock that lets developers and teams build, test, and deploy generative AI workflows without writing traditional code. It provides an intuitive drag-and-drop interface (and APIs/SDKs) for orchestrating sequences of AI tasks — combining prompts, foundation models (FMs), agents, knowledge bases, logic, and other AWS services into a reusable and versioned workflow (called a flow).

🔹 What Amazon Bedrock Flows Does

1. Visual Workflow Builder

Bedrock Flows gives you a graphical interface to drag, drop, and connect nodes representing steps in a GenAI workflow — such as model invocations, conditional logic, or integration points with services like AWS Lambda or Amazon Lex. You can also construct and modify flows using APIs or the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK).

2. Orchestration of Generative AI Workloads

Flows make it easy to link together:

foundation model prompts

AI agents

knowledge bases (for RAG)

business logic

external AWS services

into a cohesive workflow that responds to input data and produces a desired output.

3. Serverless Testing and Deployment

You can test flows directly in the AWS console with built-in input/output traceability, accelerate iteration, version your workflows for release management or A/B testing, and deploy them via API endpoints — all without managing infrastructure.

4. Enhanced Logic and Control

Flows consist of nodes and connections:

Nodes represent steps/operations (like invoking a model or evaluating a condition).

Connections (data or conditional) define how outputs feed into next steps.

This enables branching logic and complex, multi-stage execution paths.

5. Integration with AWS Ecosystem

Flows let you integrate generative AI with broader AWS tooling — such as Lambda functions for custom code, Amazon Lex for conversational interfaces, S3 for data input/output, and more — for complete, production-ready solutions.

🔹 Why It Matters

No-code/low-code AI orchestration: Non-developers or subject-matter experts can build sophisticated workflows.

Faster iteration: Test, version, and deploy generative AI applications more quickly.

Reusable AI logic: Flows can be versioned and reused across applications.

Supports complex AI use cases: Including multi-turn interactions and conditional behaviors.

🔹 Key Concepts

A flow is the workflow construct with a name, permissions, and connected nodes.

Nodes are the steps in the flow (inputs, actions, conditions).

Connections are the data or conditional links between nodes defining execution sequences.

In summary:

Amazon Bedrock Flows is a serverless AI workflow orchestration tool within AWS Bedrock that simplifies creating, testing, and deploying complex generative AI applications through a visual interface or APIs — enabling integration of foundation models, logic, and AWS services into scalable GenAI workflows.
