Amazon Bedrock launches Session Management APIs for GenAI applications (Preview)
Amazon Bedrock announces the preview launch of the Session Management APIs, a new capability that enables developers to simplify state and context management for generative AI (GenAI) applications built with popular open-source frameworks such as LangGraph and LlamaIndex. Session Management APIs provide an out-of-the-box solution that enables developers to securely manage state and conversation context across multi-step GenAI workflows, eliminating the need to build, maintain, or scale custom backend solutions.
By preserving session state between interactions, Session Management APIs enhance workflow continuity, enabling GenAI applications, such as virtual assistants and multi-agent research workflows, that require persistent context across extended interactions. Developers can use this capability to checkpoint workflow stages, save intermediate states, and resume tasks from points of failure or interruption. Additionally, they can pause and replay sessions and leverage detailed traces to debug and enhance their GenAI applications. By treating session as a first-class resource, this capability enables developers to enforce granular access control through AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) and encrypt data using AWS Key Management Service (KMS), ensuring that data from different user sessions is securely isolated and supporting multi-tenant applications with strong privacy protections.
Session Management APIs are now available in preview in US East (Ohio), US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Mumbai), Asia Pacific (Seoul), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Canada (Central), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (Ireland), Europe (London), Europe (Paris), Europe (Zurich), and South America (São Paulo).
