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.
