querying-aws-redshift

Enables Redshift system-table (SYS_*) log publishing to S3 Tables in Apache Iceberg format for both Provisioned clusters and Serverless namespaces, verifies publishing status, and queries the published logs via any Iceberg-compatible engine including Redshift and Athena. Covers system tables such as sys_query_history, sys_query_text, sys_connection_log, sys_query_detail, and sys_session_history. Applies when turning on S3 Tables log publishing for a cluster or namespace, confirming publishing status and locating the S3 Tables namespace, querying non-realtime data from Redshift system tables off-cluster at scale, or building dashboards for Redshift monitoring and auditing, especially for historical or high-volume system-table data beyond the in-cluster SYS_ view retention window. Trigger phrases: publish redshift system table log to s3 tables, enable-logging s3 tables, describe redshift logging status, query redshift system tables in athena or redshift, redshift log exports to iceberg.

agents-build

Use to extend an existing agent project with memory, app integration, VPC, multi-agent, migration, model, browser, code interpreter, payments, or resource removal. Triggers: "add memory", "remember across sessions", "call agent from app", "invoke agent from code", "agent auth", "streaming", "VPC", "VPC connectivity", "can't reach from VPC", "multi-agent", "A2A", "A2A auth", "orchestrator not delegating", "specialist not called", "migrate Bedrock Agent", "migration issue", "change model", "browser tool", "code interpreter", "delete agent", "tear down", "agentcore remove", "cross-account memory", "add payments capability to my agent", "wire payments plugin", "integrate x402 payments with the agent I'm building", "add MPP payments", "Machine Payments Protocol". External APIs via Gateway: use agents-connect. New project: use agents-get-started. CLI/dev-server errors: use agents-debug. Runtime x402/MPP payments: use agents-pay. Migration-specific Strands vs LangGraph routes here.

amazon-braket

Runs quantum computing workflows on AWS through Amazon Braket — discovering devices (QPUs and simulators) and their availability, building gate-model circuits and analog Hamiltonian programs, submitting quantum tasks, program sets and hybrid jobs, looking up prices, and capping spend with spending limits. Applies to any request about quantum computing, quantum hardware, quantum simulation, AHS, OpenQASM, or running a quantum algorithm on AWS.

Creating an API Gateway Stage

Overview

Domain expertise for creating and configuring API Gateway stages with comprehensive logging, monitoring, security, and throttling controls. Covers CloudWatch logging setup, X-Ray tracing, WAF web ACL association, method-level configuration, and authorization options.

Create an API Gateway stage

To create a fully configured API Gateway stage with logging, throttling, WAF, and authorization, follow the procedure exactly. See API Gateway stage creation procedure.

Troubleshooting

CloudWatch logs not appearing

Verify the CloudWatch role permissions, log group existence, and that logging is enabled at both stage and method levels. See the full procedure for details.

Stage creation fails

Check REST API ID, deployment ID, IAM permissions, and stage naming conventions.

WAF blocking legitimate requests

Review WAF logs, adjust rules or add exceptions, and consider count mode for testing.
