Engineering Intelligent Products

Opis

Description
Artificial intelligence, edge computing, and data engineering are transforming how intelligent products are designed, deployed, and managed. As systems evolve from cloud-dependent to distributed intelligence, engineers must understand how to build solutions that combine data, models, and hardware into cohesive, scalable architectures. This book bridges the gap between conceptual AI knowledge and real-world system implementation, offering a hands-on guide to building next-generation intelligent products.

This book takes readers through the entire lifecycle of intelligent system development, from product design to model deployment and system integration. It begins with the foundational concepts of AI product architecture and progresses to practical design principles for building data pipelines, implementing MLOps, and developing edge-AI and IoT systems. Each chapter blends theory with implementation guidance and covers tools such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Kafka, Spark, MLflow, and Kubernetes. Readers will also explore topics like cloud-edge orchestration, system monitoring, security and compliance, and platform-based product scaling through case studies.

By the end of this book, readers will be able to design and deploy AI, IoT, and edge systems with technical confidence. They will be equipped to make architectural trade-offs, optimize performance, and manage data-driven products across hybrid environments.

What you will learn
Learn to design scalable AI and edge systems for real products.
Construct secure, real-time IoT data pipelines.
Build platform-level thinking for managing intelligent devices.
Learn to optimize edge devices for low-latency, offline AI inference.
