⚡ دستیارهای کدنویسی مبتنی بر هوش مصنوعی (AI Coding Assistants) به تیمها کمک میکنند سریعتر از همیشه نرمافزار بسازند. اما برای تبدیل این سرعت به نوآوری واقعی، سازمانها باید فراتر از صرفاً نوشتن کد عمل کرده و نرمافزار را سریع، امن و قابلاعتماد ارائه دهند.
🤖 در حالی که کدنویسی با کمک هوش مصنوعی به جریان اصلی (Mainstream) تبدیل شده، آنچه پس از نوشتن کد رخ میدهد هنوز جای کار دارد. کتاب AI-Native Software Delivery یک راهنمای عملی برای بهکارگیری هوش مصنوعی در کل چرخه تحویل نرمافزار — از Commit تا Production و فراتر از آن — است.
👨💻 این کتاب برای مهندسان نرمافزار، رهبران DevOps و مدیران فناوری نوشته شده و نشان میدهد تیمهای پیشرو چگونه با کمک AI فرایندهای CI/CD را بهینه میکنند، هزینههای ابری را مدیریت میکنند، امنیت را تقویت میکنند و کارهای عملیاتی تکراری (Operational Toil) را حذف میکنند. همچنین ریسکهای اتوماسیون شکننده را آشکار کرده و راهکارهایی برای جلوگیری از ساخت سیستمهای غیرقابلگسترش ارائه میدهد.
📘 در این کتاب میآموزید که چگونه:
⚡ یکپارچهسازی AI در جریانهای کاری تحویل برای کاهش زمان رسیدن به ارزش (Time to Value)
🧩 اجتناب از خطاهای رایج در استراتژیهای اتوماسیون پراکنده
🔐 پیادهسازی اصول DevSecOps متناسب با مقیاس تیم
🛠️ بهکارگیری عملی AIOps، Chaos Engineering و SRE
🔄 آیندهنگری در تحویل نرمافزار با Pipelineهای هوشمند و حلقههای بازخورد
🚀 چه در حال تکاملبخشیدن به فرایند تحویل قدیمی باشید، چه در حال طراحی یک پلتفرم جدید، این کتاب راهنمایی استراتژیک برای هدایت سازمان شما بهسوی آیندهی AI-Native Software Delivery خواهد بود.
AI coding assistants are helping teams create software faster than ever. But to turn that speed into real innovation, organizations must go beyond writing code and deliver software quickly, securely, and reliably.
While AI-assisted coding is now mainstream, what happens after the code is written is still catching up. AI-Native Software Delivery is your practical guide to applying AI across the entire delivery lifecycle, from commit to production and beyond.
Written for software engineers, DevOps leaders, and tech executives, this book explores how leading teams are using AI to streamline CI/CD, manage cloud costs, strengthen security, and eliminate operational toil. The book also uncovers the risks of brittle automation and shows you how to avoid building systems that don't scale.
You'll learn how to:
Whether you're evolving a legacy delivery process or designing a new platform, this guide will help you lead your organization into the AI-native future of software delivery.
