The agent works on your laptop. That is exactly where most agent projects quietly die.
A working prototype is not a production system. In production, requests arrive concurrently at all hours, processes crash and restart, models drift under stable versions, costs accrue per call, and one bad input must never take down the next ninety-nine callers. This book is about everything around the agent's mind — the operational discipline the industry calls AgentOps — that turns a program you run into a service a business can depend on. Its running system is a platform that operates the prior books' agents, and across ten chapters it builds that platform one discipline at a time.
Through ten chapters, each moving from a reproduced production failure to tested code, you will build:
The governing idea, held for ten chapters: the platform, not the agent, is the durable asset — models, agents, and tasks churn, but the invariants of operating an agent do not, so the operational surface outlives every agent it runs. Each chapter adds a research lineage (the twelve-factor app and microservices to Google SRE, Amdahl and Brooks to the Kubernetes control plane), a failure catalog, an applied deep-dive, and exercises. The companion repo has one dependency, twenty-two tests, and runs entirely offline.
Who it's for: platform, DevOps, and senior engineers putting agents into production, who have built, dissected, and hardened an agent (Books 3–5 or equivalent).
The AI Agent Series takes readers from first contact to professional mastery across seven volumes. This is Book 6: agents in production.
