Prompt & LLM workflow orchestration Partial match
There is no visual flow builder exactly like Bedrock Flows. The closest options are Agent Studio for prompt and agent prototyping, and ADK workflow agents (sequential, parallel, loop) in code.
- ADK workflow agents define deterministic pipelines in code rather than a drag-and-drop canvas.
- Agent Studio is a console workspace for prompts and agents, not a node graph like Bedrock Flows.
- For general orchestration around model calls, Google Cloud Workflows is another option.
Open-source agent SDK from the cloud vendor Direct match
Strands Agents maps to Google's open-source Agent Development Kit (ADK), available for Python, TypeScript, Go, and Java.
- ADK supports workflow agents (sequential, parallel, loop) as well as LLM-driven routing between agents.
- ADK agents deploy to Agent Runtime, Cloud Run, or GKE, and can use non-Google models.
