Paperback. Build agentic software development systems that can move from requirements to production with autonomy, verification, security, and control.AI coding is moving beyond autocomplete and isolated code generation. The real engineering challenge is building agents that can understand repositories, use tools safely, coordinate complex work, verify their own progress without relying on self-validation, and operate across the software delivery lifecycle without creating uncontrolled risk.This practical guide shows you how to design production-oriented agentic development systems where models handle reasoning and adaptation while deterministic controls enforce permissions, testing, policy, deployment rules, and evidence requirements.Design production software agents with bounded tools, durable state, sandboxes, checkpoints, budgets, and clear termination conditionsTurn business intent into structured requirements, acceptance criteria, specifications, dependency-aware task graphs, and traceable evidenceBuild repository-aware coding agents using context engineering, symbol search, dependency analysis, change-impact analysis, worktrees, and controlled scopeConnect agents to external systems with the Model Context Protocol and coordinate independent agents through structured agent-to-agent communicationImplement manager-worker, handoff, pipeline, fan-out, and event-driven multi-agent workflowsGenerate unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, property-based, mutation, fuzz, security, and adversarial testsPrevent self-validation, test gaming, specification gaming, and false confidence through independent verificationBuild AI code review systems that assess correctness, architecture, performance, security, maintainability, regressions, and missing changesDiagnose CI failures, create security remediation agents, protect dependencies and secrets, and produce SBOMs, provenance, signatures, and attestationsDesign governed deployment agents using release state machines, GitOps, canary releases, blue-green delivery, telemetry-driven promotion, and rollbackSecure agentic systems against prompt injection, goal hijacking, tool misuse, memory poisoning, excessive permissions, and unsafe delegationOperate autonomous SDLC pipelines with observability, SLOs, error budgets, circuit breakers, shadow mode, canary autonomy, model routing, cost controls, and agent registriesThe guide includes extensive Python, YAML, shell, and configuration examples that turn architectural concepts into concrete patterns you can adapt for real engineering systems.Whether you are building coding agents, developer platforms, AI-assisted DevOps workflows, secure software automation, or a complete autonomous delivery pipeline, you will learn how to connect capability with the controls required for production use.Grab your copy today and start building agentic software delivery systems that are observable, verifiable, secure, and ready for serious engineering work.

Build agentic software development systems that can move from requirements to production with autonomy, verification, security, and control.
AI coding is moving beyond autocomplete and isolated code generation. The real engineering challenge is building agents that can understand repositories, use tools safely, coordinate complex work, verify their own progress without relying on self-validation, and operate across the software delivery lifecycle without creating uncontrolled risk.
This practical guide shows you how to design production-oriented agentic development systems where models handle reasoning and adaptation while deterministic controls enforce permissions, testing, policy, deployment rules, and evidence requirements.
- Design production software agents with bounded tools, durable state, sandboxes, checkpoints, budgets, and clear termination conditions
- Turn business intent into structured requirements, acceptance criteria, specifications, dependency-aware task graphs, and traceable evidence
- Build repository-aware coding agents using context engineering, symbol search, dependency analysis, change-impact analysis, worktrees, and controlled scope
- Connect agents to external systems with the Model Context Protocol and coordinate independent agents through structured agent-to-agent communication
- Implement manager-worker, handoff, pipeline, fan-out, and event-driven multi-agent workflows
- Generate unit, integration, contract, end-to-end, property-based, mutation, fuzz, security, and adversarial tests
- Prevent self-validation, test gaming, specification gaming, and false confidence through independent verification
- Build AI code review systems that assess correctness, architecture, performance, security, maintainability, regressions, and missing changes
- Diagnose CI failures, create security remediation agents, protect dependencies and secrets, and produce SBOMs, provenance, signatures, and attestations
- Design governed deployment agents using release state machines, GitOps, canary releases, blue-green delivery, telemetry-driven promotion, and rollback
- Secure agentic systems against prompt injection, goal hijacking, tool misuse, memory poisoning, excessive permissions, and unsafe delegation
- Operate autonomous SDLC pipelines with observability, SLOs, error budgets, circuit breakers, shadow mode, canary autonomy, model routing, cost controls, and agent registries
The guide includes extensive Python, YAML, shell, and configuration examples that turn architectural concepts into concrete patterns you can adapt for real engineering systems.
Whether you are building coding agents, developer platforms, AI-assisted DevOps workflows, secure software automation, or a complete autonomous delivery pipeline, you will learn how to connect capability with the controls required for production use.
Grab your copy today and start building agentic software delivery systems that are observable, verifiable, secure, and ready for serious engineering work.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
