Mastering Spring AI (Paperback)

Paperback. Are you a Java developer watching the AI revolution unfold - and wondering where you fit in?The world of Artificial Intelligence has long felt like it belonged exclusively to Python developers and data scientists. But the truth is, the enterprise systems that power the real world are built in Java - and now, with Spring AI, Java developers finally have a first-class seat at the AI table.Mastering Spring AI: Building Intelligent Applications with Spring AI is your complete, hands-on guide to integrating modern AI capabilities into Spring Boot applications - without abandoning the tools, patterns, and ecosystem you already know and love.Inside This Book, You Will Learn To: Understand how LLMs really work - tokens, embeddings, transformers, and context windows explained for developers, not researchersMaster the Spring AI ChatClient API - build fluent, multi-turn conversational applications with streaming and memoryEngineer powerful prompts - system messages, few-shot prompting, chain-of-thought reasoning, and structured output parsingBuild production-grade RAG systems - ingest documents, chunk and embed them, store them in PgVector or Redis, and retrieve them intelligentlyCreate autonomous AI agents - wire real-world tools using the atTool annotation, orchestrate multi-tool workflows, and add safety guardrailsConnect services with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) - expose and consume AI tools across distributed systems using the open MCP standardRun fully private AI pipelines with Ollama - host open-source LLMs like Llama, Mistral, and Gemma locally with zero API costsAdd multimodal intelligence - process images with vision models and generate visuals with DALL-E, all from Spring BootShip with production confidence - observability, token cost tracking, circuit breakers, prompt injection prevention, evaluation frameworks, and Docker-based deploymentWho This Book Is ForJava and Spring Boot developers who want to integrate AI into their applications without switching ecosystemsBackend engineers and architects who need to design scalable, intelligent, production-ready servicesTech leads and senior developers who want to future-proof their skills in the AI-driven era of software developmentSelf-taught developers who learn best through hands-on code, real examples, and practical patternsWhat You Will Walk Away WithBy the time you finish this book, you will have: A deep, practical understanding of how AI models work and how to use them effectivelyThe ability to integrate any major LLM provider - OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or local Ollama models - into any Spring Boot applicationA complete RAG system built from scratch, from document ingestion to intelligent retrievalWorking AI agents capable of taking real-world actions through tool callingProduction-ready patterns for observability, resilience, security, and cost managementThe confidence to lead AI initiatives in your team or organizationWhat's Inside10 comprehensive chapters covering AI foundations to production deploymentHands-on code examples with complete Spring Boot projectsDeep dives into RAG, agents, MCP, multimodality, and local modelsA full glossary, project structure reference, and provider comparison guideReal-world patterns used by professional engineering teamsIf you are ready to build intelligent, production-ready Java applications and lead your team into the future of AI-driven development - this is the book you have been waiting for.Start reading today.
