Add production deployment patterns tutorial (20-production-deployment-patterns)

[MakendranAmazon]

Adds a tutorial covering Production Deployment Patterns under python/01-learn/20-production-deployment-patterns/.

What's covered

• Local agent to HTTP service — wrapping a Strands agent with FastAPI/Docker
• Deploy to AWS — Lambda and Fargate deployment patterns
• Production best practices — observability, error handling, conversation management, and scaling

Structure

• Self-contained Jupyter notebooks with runnable examples
• Uses BedrockModel, stream_async, SlidingWindowConversationManager, Docker, and boto3
• Follows the same format as the Skills tutorial feat(01-learn): add 14-skills tutorial for AgentSkills plugin #251

@manoj-selvakumar5 This tutorial is ready for review. It covers deploying Strands agents from local development to production on AWS.

Hi @MakendranAmazon - Thanks for putting this together! That said, I think it overlaps heavily with what we already have in python/02-deploy/.

Hi @manoj-selvakumar5 — Thanks for the review! I understand the overlap concern with python/02-deploy/. Here's how I see the differentiation:

02-deploy/ provides production-ready CDK stacks (TypeScript) that you copy, configure, and deploy. It assumes familiarity with the underlying concepts.

My tutorial is a learning-first notebook series that teaches the why and how step-by-step using pure Python/boto3 — no CDK or TypeScript dependency.

What my tutorial adds that's not in 02-deploy/:

Streaming pattern — full stream_async + boundary tool pattern with FastAPI StreamingResponse (not covered in 02-deploy/)

Production best practices notebook — explicit guidance on SlidingWindowConversationManager, input validation, least-privilege IAM, model routing by complexity, structured observability

Progressive learning structure — local agent → HTTP wrapper → container → deploy → harden (teaches concepts before giving production code)

	02-deploy/	This tutorial
Purpose	Reference code to copy/adapt	Teach concepts progressively
Infra tool	CDK (TypeScript)	boto3 (Python, no abstraction)
Streaming	Not covered in depth	Full pattern with boundary tool
Best practices	Implicit in code	Dedicated notebook with explanations
Audience	Ready to deploy	Learning before deploying

Happy to:

1. Add cross-references pointing to 02-deploy/ for production CDK templates
2. Reposition under 02-deploy/ if you think it fits better there
3. Reduce scope if needed

Let me know what works best!
