Real AI applications need prompts, retrieval, tools, memory, orchestration, guardrails, evaluation, observability, and runtime control working together inside clear engineering boundaries.\n\nThis book explains how to move from simple chatbot experiments to reliable AI-enabled software systems. It focuses on the production realities that matter after the demo works: latency, cost, failure handling, tool execution, structured outputs, testing, tracing, safety controls, and maintainability.\n\n### Who this book is for\n\nThis book is for software engineers, backend developers, technical leads, and software architects who want to build practical AI systems. You do not need a machine learning background. If you already build backend services with APIs, distributed systems, and system design in mind, this book helps you extend that skill set into AI-powered systems.\n\n### What you will learn\n\nYou will learn how LLMs process language through tokens, embeddings, and transformers, how to control model behavior with prompting and structured output, how to connect LLMs to production systems through tools and MCP, how to build RAG pipelines, and how to design agent workflows with planning, memory, orchestration, and controlled execution.\n\nThe book also covers guardrails, validation, permissions, human approval boundaries, evaluation, hallucination reduction, regression testing, observability, performance, cost, scaling, retries, fallbacks, and an end-to-end Code Review Agent implementation with Spring Boot.\n\nMany developers know how to call an AI API. Far fewer know how to design a reliable system around it. That gap is where many AI projects fail.\n\nThis book treats AI as software architecture, not magic.\n\n## About the Author\n\nEdiz Najim is a software architect and technical leader with nearly two decades of experience designing and building distributed systems, microservices, and production-grade backend platforms.\n\nHis work focuses on event-driven architecture, reliability, performance, and the practical engineering of AI-enabled software systems.\n\nIn Systems Thinking for Agentic AI, he brings a software architecture perspective to LLM applications, RAG, tool orchestration, agent runtimes, guardrails, observability, and production reliability. His writing is aimed at engineers, architects, and technical leaders who want to move beyond AI demos and design systems that can operate under real-world constraints.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/leanpub-book-launch-systems-thinking-for-agentic-ai-a-software-architects-guide", "canonical_source": "https://leanpub.com/blog/leanpub-book-launch-systems-thinking-for-agentic-ai-a-software-architects-guide-to-building-reliable-llm-and-agent-systems-by-ediz-najim/", "published_at": "2026-07-16 18:31:57+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-16 18:43:41.272339+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models", "ai-agents", "ai-tools", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Ediz Najim", "Leanpub", "Systems Thinking for Agentic AI", "Spring Boot"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/leanpub-book-launch-systems-thinking-for-agentic-ai-a-software-architects-guide", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/leanpub-book-launch-systems-thinking-for-agentic-ai-a-software-architects-guide.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/leanpub-book-launch-systems-thinking-for-agentic-ai-a-software-architects-guide.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/leanpub-book-launch-systems-thinking-for-agentic-ai-a-software-architects-guide.jsonld"}}
