Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports Node.js for direct code deployment

Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime now supports Node.js as a managed language runtime for direct code deployment, alongside the existing Python support. Developers can bring their Node.js-based agents to AgentCore Runtime by packaging their agent code and dependencies into a .zip file archive, without building or managing a container image.

To deploy, write your agent in Node.js, zip it up with its dependencies, upload the zip to Amazon S3, and create your agent runtime. You can deploy a plain Node.js app, a TypeScript project (compiled to JavaScript first), or an agent built with any agent framework like the Strands Agents SDK. Dependencies can be included as a `node_modules` folder in the zip, or bundled into a single JavaScript file using esbuild to keep the package smaller.

Node.js agents on AgentCore Runtime benefit from the same capabilities as other supported runtimes, including session isolation, built-in authentication with SigV4 and OAuth 2.0, bidirectional streaming, managed session storage, and observability with Amazon CloudWatch. Observability is available through the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Node.js auto-instrumentation package.
