Part 2. Tools of the trade

In chapter 4 we will create an entirely serverless to-do list application, which we will secure using AWS Cognito. We will proceed to add AI-driven interfaces to this application in chapter 5, such as speech-to-text and an interactive chatbot.

In chapter 6 we will look in more detail at the key tools and techniques that you will need to master in order to be effective with AI as a Service. These include how to create build and deployment pipelines, how to build observability into our systems, and how to effectively monitor and debug the systems that we build.

Building systems from scratch is relatively easy. Most of us in the real world are tasked with maintaining and extending preexisting platforms, so we close out this part in chapter 7 by looking at how to apply what we have learned to existing systems.
