Architecting Agentic AI: Architectures, Governance & Frameworks: Practical Design Patterns for Building Autonomous Intelligent Systems Across Industries (The Agentic AI Handbook)

Volume 2 of The Agentic AI Handbook. Architecting Agentic AI: Architectures, Governance & Frameworks completes the architecture spine of the series, moving from single-agent fundamentals to multi-agent systems built for production. It covers multi-agent architectures, planning and reflection, and the governance and evaluation scaffolding that keeps agents safe, auditable, and reliable at scale.

Written for AI architects, platform engineers, and technical leaders, this volume connects the core patterns from Volume 1 into real systems via the frameworks and interoperability protocols that define the current landscape — MCP, A2A, LangChain, ADK, and more. You will learn how to orchestrate multiple agents, evaluate and monitor agent behavior in production, and put governance controls in place before you ship.

This is the second half of the series' architecture spine; every industry volume that follows builds on the patterns established across both Volume 1 and Volume 2.
