Empowering SQL Server Professionals with Kiro and MCP: AI-Assisted Database Development on AWS

SQL Server professionals face increasingly complex challenges managing critical database systems—from optimizing query performance and managing schemas to ensuring high availability and troubleshooting intricate issues. AWS has introduced Kiro, an AI-powered assistant, along with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers as open-source tools designed to revolutionize how database professionals work. Kiro runs locally via CLI and can be extended with MCP servers, enabling AI agents to connect to external tools and data sources seamlessly. This integration allows SQL Server professionals to leverage AI-assisted development for faster application building, automated workflow customization, and enhanced productivity. By combining the power of AWS's scalable infrastructure with intelligent automation, these tools transform traditional database management into an agent-assisted development experience—helping professionals move from prototype to production more efficiently while maintaining the reliability and performance their enterprise applications demand.

This session introduces SQL Server professionals to Kiro and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, AWS's open-source AI-powered tools designed to enhance database development and management workflows. Participants will learn how to leverage AI-assisted automation for query optimization, schema management, and troubleshooting complex database issues through local CLI integration. Attendees will gain practical knowledge on integrating these tools into their workflows to accelerate development cycles while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability and performance.
