ہر بڑی ایپلیکیشن کے پیچھے، ایک منفرد کہانی چھپی ہوتی ہے جو ہمیں بتاتی ہے کہ کس طرح اُس نے اپنے آغاز سے لے کر کروڑوں اور اربوں صارفین کو ہینڈل کرنے کے لیے اپنے سسٹم کو بہتر بنایا۔ اس میں، ہم چند مشہور پلیٹ فارمز کی سکیلنگ کی کہانیوں پر نظر ڈالیں گے اور دیکھیں گے کہ انہوں نے کن چیلنجز کا سامنا کیا، کن ٹیکنالوجیز کا استعمال کیا، اور کس طرح اپنے آرکیٹیکچر کو بدلتے وقت اور بڑھتی ہوئی ضروریات کے مطابق ڈھالا۔ یہ کہانیاں نہ صرف بڑی کمپنیوں کے کامیاب سسٹمز کی گواہی ہیں، بلکہ ہمیں یہ سیکھنے کا موقع بھی دیتی ہیں کہ ہم اپنے پروجیکٹس کو کس طرح بہتر بنا سکتے ہیں، چاہے وہ چھوٹے پیمانے کے ہوں یا بڑے۔ ان سکیلنگ کی کہانیوں میں جھانکنے کا مقصد، دراصل سافٹ ویئر انجینئرنگ کے بہترین اصولوں اور غیر معمولی ڈیزائن کے فیصلوں کا جائزہ لینا ہے

This is not a book about best practices. It is not a manual for clean architecture or a treatise on organizational efficiency. There are enough of those. This is a book about patterns you can feel but not always name. About the loops that shape systems, and the systems that shape us. About how structure emerges, reflects, collapses, and — sometimes — regenerates. You don’t need to be an engineer to know what it’s like to live inside a system that can’t see itself. Or to feel the edge of a process that once made sense but no longer fits. You don’t need to be a leader to notice when a decision wasn’t really a decision, but a reflex encoded years ago.
