Your agent passed every load test and timed out in production anyway. This free practitioner's guide shows why the traditional performance playbook breaks for agentic AI, and what replaces it: latency budgets, bounded autonomy, token SLOs, and production-grade observability, from a performance engineering and observability architect with two decades in production.

A language model predicts tokens. An agent acts—and must be held accountable. Learn to replace “prompt and pray” with governed tools, geometric memory, independent verification and auditable runtime controls.

Build a complete AI agent from scratch — from a simple API call to a production multi-agent system with memory, planning, RAG, security, and deployment. 15 chapters, one real project, complete Python code.

Learn to design, build and govern agentic systems as you prepare for the Google Cloud Professional Agentic Architect exam. Study practical architectures and worked examples, then test your understanding with 100 original questions aligned with the public exam objectives.

Most agent books teach prompts and frameworks. Agent Engineering teaches the judgment and engineering discipline required to build AI agents that are reliable, secure, testable, and ready for production. Follow a practical Claude-based project from first agent to production-grade autonomous system—and receive every future update to this early-access edition.

ဥပမာအားဖြင့်၊ သင်က AI ကို "မိုးရွာရင် ထီးယူသွားပါ" ဟု ခိုင်းထားလျှင်၊ မိုးသည်းထန်စွာ ရွာနေသော်လည်း အိမ်ခေါင်မိုး ပြိုကျနေပါက ၎င်းသည် ထီးကိုသာ ကိုင်၍ အိမ်ထဲတွင် ငုတ်တုတ်ထိုင်နေပေလိမ့်မည်။ အဘယ်ကြောင့်ဆိုသော် "အိမ်ခေါင်မိုး ပြိုလျှင် ပြေးပါ" ဟူသော စည်းမျဉ်းကို သင်က ထည့်မပေးထား သောကြောင့် ဖြစ်သည်။

Installing safety hooks for Claude Code takes about thirty seconds. Proving they actually refuse anything is the step almost everyone skips — and an unverified guard looks exactly like a working one. Free: the pre-flight checklist, which event can refuse a tool call and which only watches, how to make a guard fire on purpose, what a broken hook does, and a catalogue of all 915 example hooks in cc-safe-setup.

You leave Claude Code running and come back to something missing. This book is arranged by the accident, not the mechanism: databases dropped, files deleted, git history rewritten, the rewind command taking work with it. Three of the four get the exact hook that blocks the command before it runs, with the recovery if it already happened; no PreToolUse hook sees the rewind command, and the book gives the settings-level lever and names the one place a refusal could still live. Appendix B prints all 195 commands the guards were fired at, refusals and allowances both.

Spring AI gives you one API for chat models, embeddings, vector stores and tools, and swaps the provider with a single property. This book teaches it by building: thirteen chapters, seventeen complete Spring Boot projects, and every program run on a free local model and on a paid cloud model before a word was written about it. Start chapter 1 with no account, no API key and no credit card.

Agentic AI is everywhere, but what does it actually mean? This book cuts through the hype and explains how AI agents work, how they are built and where they can go wrong. Starting from the basics, it gives you a clear, practical understanding of the technology and what it takes to trust an agent in the real world.

What happens when AI starts making the decisions behind your database queries? This practical guide explores how modern optimizers work, then shows how machine learning and reinforcement learning can improve them. Learn to build, test and deploy AI-driven optimization systems that deliver real performance gains.

Rapid-development frameworks across Ruby on Rails, Node.js, PHP, Python, and .NET revolutionized how quickly we can ship software. But what happens when your business domain grows complex? Relying on Active Record and heavy ORM patterns tightly couples your database to your business logic. As your product matures, this coupling creates brittle, difficult-to-maintain codebases that resist change and slow down your team. The solution is the Domain Model Pattern (the foundation of Domain-Driven Design). It isolates business rules from infrastructure, creating a pure, scalable architecture. Historically, however, this pattern required a massive amount of effort and boilerplate, making it too slow for fast-paced development. That changes today. We are at an AI inflection point. Modern AI coding assistants excel at generating boilerplate and wiring infrastructure, effectively eliminating the traditional drawbacks of DDD. AI finally bridges the gap between the rapid speed of framework scaffolding and the architectural purity of a Domain Model. But to harness AI reliably, you cannot simply let it generate code unguided. You need a structured methodology to guide the machine. In this book, you will learn:How to build reliable, maintainable software using a strict, AI-assisted pipeline: Use Cases → Gherkin → Event Storming → Strategic & Tactical DDD.How to create implementation-agnostic class diagrams that serve as universal blueprints, allowing you to generate code in OOP languages (Java, C#, PHP, Python) or Functional languages (Elixir, Clojure, F#).How to future-proof your systems with a timeless methodology that prioritizes the longevity of business logic over the ephemeral nature of web frameworks.How to scale your architecture gracefully from a Majestic Monolith to Microservices without a complete rewrite. The methodology is language agnostics but in this edition all codes samples are in TypeScript. Whether you want to accelerate your development velocity, improve your system's resilience, or simply reclaim your craft by building beautiful, majestic systems, this book provides the blueprint.Discover how to combine the timeless principles of DDD with the power of AI.

Your manager calls you into a meeting. Everyone is cheerful. The Head of Sales is there. “We heard AI is really useful for boosting productivity. We’d love to explore how it can help us in Sales.” Your manager agrees. “This is the perfect pilot. Please give us a concept until next week so we can see what we can do.”The follow-up arrives quickly. Sales is overloaded. Everyone is busy serving customers. Nobody has time for a workshop, but they do have Sales.xlsx. That is what you get. The clock is ticking.And then you open Sales.xlsx.You have nothing. No requirements, no workflows, not even a proper data model. What you have is a snapshot of the messy reality Sales is dealing with every day. Customer names, contacts, opportunity values, dates, products, notes, colors that apparently mean something, and a field called Status_Final_2, which tells you enough about its history that asking about Status_Final_1 would probably ruin the afternoon.And then it strikes you: they are not even using the CRM. You do not know why. Nothing you know from IT seems to apply in Sales, and they do not particularly care. They have customers to serve. Whatever happened between the shiny CRM rollout and this spreadsheet happened years ago. Today, Sales.xlsx is the truth.And now, just because AI promises productivity, they are asking for the benefits.How is that even supposed to work?

Behind every breakthrough in Generative AI isn't magic—it's mathematics."​Ever wondered what actually happens inside a Large Language Model when it generates the next token? Beyond the hype and high-level API calls lies an elegant foundation of probability, vector geometry, and linear algebra.​In The Mathematics of Generative AI, Ahmed Adawy strips away the academic jargon to reveal the exact core equations driving modern LLMs. From conditional probability and high-dimensional embeddings to Query-Key-Value attention mechanisms, this capsule equips software engineers and AI practitioners with the intuition needed to build, debug, and innovate with confidence.​Stop treating AI like a black box. Master the equations beneath the intelligence.

Os agentes de programação com IA avançam rápido.
