Best demo moment: Allen's "destroyed package" scenario where contents caught fire, got run over by multiple cars, then the ashes caught fire again. 🔥🚗
The agents handled it autonomously - no predefined rules needed. That's the power of multi-agent choreography.

Key takeaways: Break architecture into steps, use steering files for control, security by default, observability is integral, seamless console-to-IDE transitions.

We used Kiro CLI with AWS Serverless MCP server. The MCP server transformed Kiro from just suggesting CLI commands to actually executing them with tools like sam_init, sam_build, sam_deploy.
Built: API Gateway + Lambda + Bedrock + S3 + React frontend + CloudWatch observability

Live demo highlights:
• To-Do MCP Server with type-safe parameters
• Thermal receipt printer integration using recibo crate
• Hardware control - LLM analyzes code, creates tasks, physically prints them on receipts!
Rust MCP servers: <1 second startup vs 4+ seconds for TypeScript

Multi-agent food tracker demo: user-facing agent, orchestrator, 2 MCP servers (recipe + nutrition via Gateway). Built with FastMCP in Python. Converted existing Lambda functions to MCP servers without code changes. Memory demo showed user preferences persisting across sessions!
