About the Book
Modern systems don’t fail because of missing features — they fail because performance collapses, latency spikes, reliability drops, or security cracks under pressure. That’s what this book fixes. If you architect, design, or build software that must work at scale, this book gives you a proven, practical blueprint for getting Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) right — every time.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
⚙️ Define NFRs with clarity, precision, and business alignment
📊 Predict performance, capacity, load, and failure points before they happen
🏗️ Engineer architectures that stay fast, stable, secure, and resilient
❌ Avoid NFR mistakes that break systems in production
📉 Build NFR-driven KPIs, SLIs, and SLOs that safeguard performance and reliability
🔍 Validate and monitor NFRs using modern testing, chaos engineering & observability
Whether you’re working with microservices, cloud-native platforms, APIs, COTS products, or large enterprise systems, this framework helps you build software that doesn’t buckle when real users — and real traffic — show up. If your job demands systems that stay up, stay fast, scale cleanly, and survive real-world pressure, this book gives you the edge.
