From Theory to Implementation
The theoretical frameworks presented throughout this book mean nothing without implementation. This chapter provides working code, system architectures, and deployment strategies that organizations can implement immediately.
Every algorithm has been tested on production systems, every architecture has been stress-tested at scale, and every tool is available today. The barrier isn't technology—it's the decision to implement.
