Like many developers working in enterprise environments, I found myself in a situation where I wanted to leverage AI-assisted coding through Claude Code in VS Code, but I needed to use AWS Bedrock instead of Anthropic’s direct API. The reasons were straightforward: I already had AWS infrastructure in place, and using Bedrock meant better compliance with our security policies, centralized billing, and integration with our existing AWS services.
