Lesson objective

By the end of this lesson, you will have the course's templates, checklists and prompts, and you will have planned how to apply them to your product over 7 and 30 days.

Topics covered

  • technical literacy kit
  • incident checklist
  • PM templates
  • action plan
  • web product

Where it fits

Diagnose and map your product

How do I use all of this to qualify an incident and describe my own product?

Lessons in this module

  2. Drawing a request's journey through your product
  3. Exit kit and application plan (this lesson)

What you will learn in this module

This lesson is part of the course Explain how a web product works, from browser to server

  • Explain how responsibilities are split between browser, frontend, backend, API, database and third-party services, and place where a business rule must run.
  • Explain the role of a CDN and of caches (browser, CDN, server) and anticipate their effects on speed, data freshness and releases.
  • Tell apart local, preview, staging and production environments, and say what changes from one to another (configuration, data, secrets).
  • Place a symptom (slowness, blank page, error, stale data) in the right layer and ask the technical team precise questions.
  • Produce the annotated diagram of a request's journey through your own product and have it validated by a developer.
