Interesting. By backend apis do you mean for things like angularjs and azure?

No, yes, maybe. So like imagine your a product manager, but your product isnt a CRUD app, its a REST api users hit to get data. They either pay access for it, or more commonly you expose it for people in your enterprise. (So say you work for Walmart or Amazon and your team exposes an api for another team in the enterprise to make updates to a delivery time)

Most product managers are not technical but can understand CRUD apps just fine (the app should do this when the user clicks this!). They struggle when the product is an endpoint you can hit with curl that has an interconnected chain of dependencies and other teams that also expose APIs that are owned by other product managers.

How do you go about getting experience for this? It sounds like the type of thing best learned on the job.
