Harness Engineering with Amazon
Agentic AI is moving quickly from impressive demos to real production systems. But reliable agents require more than strong models and clever prompts and tools.
🧰 They need a harness. Harness Engineering is hottest 🌶️ topic of the 2026.
A production agent harness is the engineering layer around the model: runtime, tools, memory, identity, permissions, security boundaries, evaluations, observability, debugging, deployment workflows and feedback loops. It is the difference between an agent that works in a demo and an agent that can safely operate in the real world.
Join London Agentic AI hosted by Amazon for a deep technical evening on Harness Engineering: the practical discipline of building, deploying, testing and operating production-ready AI agents.
This event will explore how agent builders design the full operating environment required for reliable agentic systems.
What We’ll Cover
What Harness Engineering means and why it matters now
How production agents differ from prototypes
Agent runtime, tool access, memory and identity patterns
Secure execution, sandboxing and enterprise system integration
Evaluation, tracing, observability and debugging for agents
Real-world lessons from building and operating agent harnesses
