Generative AI Engineering for Developers: Build Intelligent Applications with Large Language Models, Retrieval Systems, AI Agents and Production-Ready Workflows

Generative AI is transforming software development at an unprecedented pace. From intelligent assistants and AI-powered search engines to autonomous agents and enterprise knowledge systems, organizations are rapidly adopting AI to build smarter products and automate complex workflows.

Generative AI Engineering for Developers is a practical guide that teaches you how to design, build, deploy, and operate production-ready AI applications. Rather than focusing only on prompts or model APIs, this book explores the complete engineering lifecycle required to create reliable, scalable, secure, and maintainable AI systems. This book goes beyond theory and AI hype to provide a real-world engineering perspective. Drawing from modern software engineering practices, it explains how Large Language Models, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), vector databases, AI agents, evaluation frameworks, monitoring systems, and LLMOps work together to power modern intelligent applications. Every concept is presented with practical implementation strategies and production-focused guidance.

Modern Generative AI systems combine multiple technologies, including Large Language Models, embeddings, vector databases, retrieval pipelines, agent frameworks, memory systems, cloud infrastructure, and monitoring platforms. When integrated correctly, these technologies enable applications that can understand language, retrieve knowledge, automate tasks, generate content, and support intelligent decision-making.
