Could someone explain the type of responsibilities that come with a product manager role? There’s an enterprise software company I like, however the only non engineering role is PM. I’m scared I won’t be technical enough 😕

Don't take this the wrong way, but becoming a product manager from consulting is really difficult, so not having a grasp on the role in general doesn't bode well.

With that being said, think of a product manager as being a Mini-CEO of their product. You have to be able to talk to customers, engineering, sales, design teams, etc. Do you need to know how to code? Some companies prefer this as many PM's come from engineering backgrounds. Others may be more lenient, but you'll need to be talk with engineers and understand core concepts that helps you make decisions.

Jamstack development has been a long time coming. The name is a play on JAMstack, a site used to manage and publish static sites.

But, of course, these would need their server to host them, which cost a lot of money and took up precious resources in the cloud.
