116 technical terms across 6 categories — software & dev, cloud & infrastructure, databases, architecture, testing & QA, agile & delivery. Each term gets a plain-English definition, a real-world "think of it like" analogy, a "why it matters" note, and links to related terms. Search, ⌘K, category filters, bookmarks, dark/light mode.

Working alongside engineers, architects, DBAs, and product teams means hearing "API," "primary key," "star schema," and "regression testing" thrown around constantly — often without a clear, plain-language anchor for what each term actually means or why it matters to a business analyst or tester specifically.
This is a compact reference: one card per term, a plain-language explanation, and an expandable "why it matters" note aimed at BA and QA day-to-day work — built for quick lookups, not a textbook read-through. It leans especially deep on databases and data warehousing (primary/foreign keys, normalization, star schemas, OLTP vs. OLAP, data lineage, SCDs) and core testing vocabulary (test cases, regression vs. smoke vs. sanity testing, defect life cycle, severity vs. priority) — the two areas non-technical BAs and testers run into constantly but rarely get explained plainly.
