Building a Serverless GenAI Chatbot using Amazon Bedrock & Amazon Kendra (Hands-on RAG Workshop)

๐Ÿš€ Building a Serverless GenAI Chatbot using Amazon Bedrock & Amazon Kendra

Generative AI becomes truly powerful when combined with enterprise knowledge.

In this hands-on workshop, I built a fully serverless chatbot using Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Kendra, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).


โ“ Why RAG?

LLMs are powerful โ€” but they donโ€™t know your data.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) bridges this gap by:

  • Retrieving relevant enterprise documents
  • Injecting context into prompts
  • Producing accurate, grounded responses

๐Ÿง  Architecture Breakdown

Core Components:

  • Frontend: AWS Amplify (Vue.js)
  • API Layer: Amazon API Gateway
  • Compute: AWS Lambda
  • AI Models: Amazon Bedrock (Claude 3, Mistral, Llama)
  • Search: Amazon Kendra
  • Storage: Amazon S3
  • Security: Amazon Cognito

๐Ÿ”„ End-to-End Flow

  1. User submits a query
  2. Lambda retrieves relevant documents
  3. Prompt is augmented with context
  4. Bedrock generates a grounded response
  5. UI displays the result

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What I Implemented

โœ” CloudFormation-based infrastructure

โœ” AWS SAM backend deployment

โœ” Bedrock LLM integration

โœ” Kendra document indexing

โœ” Secure authentication via Cognito

โœ” Serverless frontend with Amplify


๐Ÿ’ก Real-World Applications

  • Internal enterprise assistants
  • Compliance & policy search
  • Technical documentation bots
  • Customer support automation
  • Knowledge discovery platforms

๐Ÿ“Œ Key Learnings

  • RAG dramatically improves LLM accuracy
  • Bedrock abstracts LLM complexity
  • Kendra simplifies enterprise search
  • Serverless = scale + cost efficiency

๐Ÿ”œ Whatโ€™s Next?

  • Multi-tenant SaaS architecture
  • Agent-based workflows
  • Streaming token responses
  • Cost & latency optimization
