Claude Architecture Bootcamp

Security, Evals, and Governance
Claude can now understand repositories, write code, call tools, retrieve enterprise knowledge, and complete multi-step workflows.
That creates enormous opportunity—but also new architecture, security, and governance risks.
This full-day workshop shows architects, developers, and technical leaders how to use Claude safely and effectively in real production environments.
You will begin with Claude Code and learn how to move beyond uncontrolled “vibe coding” into governed engineering workflows using CLAUDE.md, plan-first development, tests, pull requests, and CI/CD quality gates.
You will then expand into the complete Claude architecture landscape:

  • Claude APIs and structured outputs
  • Agent SDK and bounded agent workflows
  • MCP tools and permission controls
  • Production RAG and trusted evidence
  • Prompt injection and data protection
  • Evals, observability, cost, and latency
  • Release governance and rollback
  • Production-readiness decisions
    This is not a feature tour.

This is a practical architecture bootcamp focused on one essential question:
How do we give Claude powerful capabilities without giving it uncontrolled authority?
Who Should Attend
This workshop is ideal for:

  • Software and enterprise architects
  • Senior developers and technical leads
  • AI and platform engineers
  • DevOps and DevSecOps professionals
  • Engineering managers
  • Teams adopting Claude Code, MCP, RAG, or AI agents
    No deep machine-learning experience is required.

What You Will Learn
Participants will learn how to:

  1. Use Claude Code as a governed engineering assistant.
  2. Create effective CLAUDE.md repository guidance.
  3. Apply architecture, testing, security, and maintainability guardrails.
  4. Design safe Claude API and Agent SDK workflows.
  5. Build MCP tools with least privilege and approval gates.
  6. Design grounded RAG systems with trusted, current evidence.
  7. Protect against prompt injection, secrets leakage, and unsafe tool use.
  8. Evaluate correctness, groundedness, safety, latency, and cost.
  9. Trace prompts, sources, tool calls, decisions, and failures.
  10. Decide whether a Claude-powered system is truly ready for production.

Workshop Format
The workshop includes:

  • Architecture demonstrations
  • Hands-on design exercises
  • Claude Code governance examples
  • MCP tool-risk classification
  • RAG and security simulations
  • Evaluation scorecards
  • Production-readiness scenarios
  • A final architecture defense
    Participants leave with a practical playbook for introducing Claude into engineering teams without losing architecture discipline.
