    • Proper logging of errors
  3. Configuration Management

    • Store Bedrock configurations (e.g., model IDs) in separate files
    • Facilitates easy updates and switches between models
  4. Testing

    • Write unit tests for Bedrock integration
    • Mock API responses for comprehensive testing
  5. Continuous Integration

    • Set up CI/CD pipelines including Bedrock tests
    • Ensures ongoing functionality with code changes
