I’ve been playing with this stack and left wondering if Strands provides any secret sauce with Agent Core. So far it doesn’t feel that way and sometimes they even feel at odds with each other.
I’ll need to dig into burr - I’m not finding strands has an insurmountable maturity to it but it’s not carrying a lot of weird opinion (like some of the other OSS frameworks seem to be highly infected with) and is pretty practical in what it exposed and does, and is most like the agentic frameworks I’ve worked with inside FAANG. If burr can meet that and keep growing I’d probably look at moving to it as I also get a sense strands has a bit of the Amazon “highly probable to be abandoned once the managers and PMs get promoted” feeling.
