I Turned My Cloud-Native Learning Journey into an Open-Source Handbook

Open-Source Cloud-Native Agentic Engineering Handbook

Hi everyone 👋

I recently published an open-source handbook focused on practical cloud-native and AI-native engineering systems.

The goal of this project was to create a structured learning resource that helps bridge:

Backend Engineering → Cloud-Native Infrastructure → Distributed Systems → Agentic AI Systems

Instead of building a theory-heavy document, I focused on practical engineering concepts, production thinking, operational awareness, and real-world system design fundamentals.

📘 Topics Covered

FastAPI
Docker
Kubernetes
Kafka
Dapr
Observability
API Security
Distributed Systems
Agentic AI Systems

🧠 What’s Included

Production-focused explanations
Architecture insights
Operational warnings & common pitfalls
Practical engineering guidance
Interview preparation sections
Modern infrastructure concepts

🎯 Why I Built This

While learning modern backend and cloud-native systems, I noticed that many resources explain technologies separately but rarely connect them into a complete engineering ecosystem.

This handbook is my attempt to create a more connected and practical learning path.
