About the Book
This book is for anyone who’s ever been caught nodding along in meetings where the words "scalability" and "fault tolerance" were thrown around like confetti but secretly had no idea what was going on. Whether you're an Solution Architect or System Designer or Software Developer or just the person who gets asked to "optimize" things without a clear explanation (spoiler: that’s still IT), this book has something for you.
If you're responsible for delivering strategic, tactical, or operational engagements for Fortune 100 companies, or if you're just trying to survive your weekly team sync without getting voluntold for something, this book is your new best friend.
Non-functional requirements (NFRs)—those sneaky, often-overlooked keys to any successful software or IT program—are finally getting the attention they deserve. Because let’s face it, ignoring them is like planning a road trip but forgetting to check if the car has gas. You might get out of the driveway, but good luck making it to your destination.
Whether you're crafting bespoke solutions in Java, .NET, or wrangling COTS applications, this book will help you tackle the wild world of NFRs without losing your sanity. You'll find a framework (yes, another one) for capturing NFRs that you can actually use, instead of just pretending to understand.
In short, if you’re in the business of making sure software works, stays up, stays fast, and doesn’t implode under pressure, this book is for you. And if you're here just for the pizza and post-deployment party, don’t worry—we cover that too (at least metaphorically).
