AI ARCHITECTURE FOR BACKEND ENGINEERS
Calling an LLM takes 3 lines.
Controlling its output takes architecture.
Patterns and reference implementations to ship LLM features without hallucinations, regressions, or unaudited decisions.
AI ARCHITECTURE SERIES
The Books
Two volumes. Book 1 defines the problem and the architectural response. Book 2 builds it — every contract, every gate, every line of code.
BOOK 1 — DESIGN
System Design for the AI Era
A stage-by-stage framework for designing systems where AI is a component — not the architecture itself.
✓ 8-stage architectural framework
✓ SupportBot running example throughout
✓ Language & stack agnostic
✓ Covers contracts, gates, and observability
BOOK 2 — IMPLEMENTATION
Contracts, Gates, and Control Planes
Java 21 + Spring Boot implementation of every concept from Book 1. Contracts, gates, deterministic tests, and a working LLM integration.
