AWS Forward Deployed Engineering with Loka: Pilot to Production

Take one Agentic AI pilot to production on AWS in weeks, not months, with FDE engineers certified by AWS. Governance is baked into everything we ship, with artifacts your risk team can review.

We have walked this path hundreds of times with leaders and organizations. Loka’s Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) teams embed within your team or product, under your constraints from day one, and ship one agentic use case to production on AWS in weeks. You get a solution running under real governance, on real data, materially faster, with compliance artifacts your risk team can review.

As a charter member of the AWS FDE Pilot, we work with AWS to design and ship inside a governed AWS harness. When we step back, your company keeps the system, the engineers' context and a working Agentic AI solution with outcomes you can measure.

What we take to production

A few of the use cases we can move on quickly.

Multi-agent workflows with Strands and Bedrock AgentCore

Agentic workloads moved to Amazon Bedrock from OpenAI or the Claude API

Contact center agents on Amazon Connect

Document intelligence and decision agents for Financial Services

Clinical and FHIR data agents for Healthcare

Bio discovery and BioML pipelines for Life Sciences

How It Works

Embed and
assess

Scorecard, use case, production plan, and coding agent choice (Kiro, Claude Code or Codex on Bedrock).

Build with
AI-DLC

Your engineers, our FDE pod, and the right coding agent working as an engineer on your team, shipping inside a governed harness.

Prove and
hand over

Trust in production. Evaluation, observability, security, policy controls and human control, then deployed and yours to run.
