A practical guide to applying LLMs across the software development and delivery lifecycle, improve development, testing, operations, and project efficiency across modern software organizations.
Key Features
- Apply LLMs to modern DevOps workflows across development and operations with practical enterprise examples
- Build architectural fluency in GPT, fine-tuning, RAG, and agent-based systems
- Strengthen software delivery pipelines with AI-informed automation and operational intelligence
Book Description
If you work in software engineering, DevOps, SRE, or platform teams, this book written by enterprise digital transformation specialists demonstrates how large language models (LLMs) can enhance automation, software delivery, and operational reliability across modern engineering organizations. To build familiarity, the book begins hands-on with the technical underpinnings of LLMs, including Transformers, GPT architectures, and fine-tuning techniques such as LoRA and QLoRA. It then develops these foundations to demonstrate how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agent-based systems can be embedded into real enterprise workflows. Across development, testing, operations, security, and project management scenarios, you will see how LLMs enhance code generation, automate testing, improve log analysis and incident response, support root cause analysis, and assist in risk-based decision-making. By the end of the book, you will be able to move from isolated model experimentation to scalable enterprise practice, designing intelligent DevOps and SRE workflows that are efficient, reliable, and strategically aligned.
