Implementation and Integration for GenAI Applications — AWS AIP-C01 Domain 2
Overview
This folder provides a comprehensive deep-dive into implementing and integrating Foundation Model (FM) solutions in enterprise environments, aligned with AWS AIP-C01 Content Domain 2 (Tasks 2.1 through 2.5). All scenarios are grounded in the MangaAssist e-commerce chatbot architecture (Bedrock Claude 3 Sonnet/Haiku, OpenSearch Serverless, DynamoDB, ECS Fargate, API Gateway WebSocket, ElastiCache Redis).
North Star Metric: Build production-ready GenAI systems that are modular, resilient, and seamlessly integrated — every component must be independently deployable, observable, and replaceable without disrupting the user experience.
