In this practical book, leading hands-on software architects share case studies to introduce metrics that every software architect should know.   This isn't a book about theory. It's more about practice and implementation, about what has already been tried and worked. Detecting software architectural issues early is crucial for the success of your software: it helps mitigate the risk of poor performance and lowers the cost of repairing those issues. Written by practitioners for software architects and software developers eager to explore successful case studies, this guide will help you learn more about decision and measurement effectiveness.   Through contributions from 10 prominent practitioners, this book shares key software architecture metrics to help you set the right KPIs and measure the results. You'll learn how to:Measure how well your software architecture is meeting your goalsChoose the right metrics to track (and skip the ones you don't need)Improve observability, testability, and deployabilityPrioritize software architecture projectsBuild insightful and relevant dashboards","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56296371913077,"sku":"9781098112233","price":52.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781098112233_e583b1a4-257e-47f1-a0a1-9f7938bd3a16.jpg?v=1786017215"},{"product_id":"software-systems-architecture","title":"Software Systems Architecture","description":"\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoftware Systems Architecture, Second Edition\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eis a highly regarded, practitioner-oriented guide to designing and implementing effective architectures for information systems.
