But you do need to understand what happens behind the interface so you can make better decisions, work more effectively with Engineering, and understand why something that seems simple can take days—or even weeks—to build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSoftware Architecture for Product Managers  explains how digital products work behind the scenes, starting from scratch and assuming no previous technical knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the book, we’ll follow  Nomada , a fictional e-commerce product, to discover what happens behind seemingly simple actions such as viewing a product, adding it to the cart, or completing a purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll learn to understand concepts such as  frontend, backend, databases, APIs, caching, CDNs, scalability, synchronous and asynchronous processing, queues, events, monoliths, microservices, cloud infrastructure, logs, metrics, and traces .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the goal isn’t to learn technology for the sake of learning technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal is to help you understand conversations like:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“The bottleneck is in the database.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“We should make this asynchronous.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“This service doesn’t scale.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“We have too much technical debt.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Before we build this feature, we need to refactor.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“If this dependency fails, we can degrade the experience gracefully.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd, most importantly, to understand  what these statements actually mean for the product—and what questions you should ask next .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will help you:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstand how frontend, backend, APIs, and databases work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the complete journey of a request from the interface to the data layer and back to the user.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstand why systems use caches, CDNs, load balancers, queues, and events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstand the differences between monoliths and microservices without diving into code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eParticipate confidently in conversations about performance, scalability, and availability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstand concepts such as latency, P95, SLAs, SLOs, and observability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstand why systems fail and how they are designed to withstand those failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHave better conversations about technical debt and refactoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTake part in architecture discussions while thinking about the consequences for users, the business, and the roadmap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou won’t find programming tutorials or explanations written for developers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, you’ll find analogies, product examples, diagrams, and real-world situations explained from a Product Manager’s perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause you don’t need to know how to build a backend to understand why it’s failing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou don’t need to configure a database to understand why it has become a bottleneck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd you don’t need to design a software architecture to participate intelligently in the decisions that will shape your product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnderstand how digital products work behind the scenes—without learning to code.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67934457561124,"sku":"YSL31845","price":7.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/2614\/7620\/files\/61JdcPzectL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793246564","url":"https:\/\/booktavero.com\/products\/b0hgbgsbwl","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
