Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving from simple chatbots to autonomous, intelligent agents capable of planning, reasoning, collaborating, and executing complex workflows. While many books focus on AI concepts or basic prototypes, very few teach you how to build production-ready Agentic AI systems that are secure, scalable, observable, and enterprise-ready.
This book bridges that gap.
Production-Ready Agentic AI for Data Engineers is a practical, hands-on guide designed for data engineers, AI engineers, machine learning engineers, software developers, cloud architects, and technical professionals who want to design, build, deploy, and operate enterprise-grade AI agent systems.
Rather than stopping at proof-of-concept demos, you'll learn the engineering practices required to move Agentic AI into production with confidence.
Inside this book, you'll learn how to:Understand Agentic AI architecture and multi-agent systems
