System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?

// NOTE: this adds a filename and line number to winston's output
// Example output: 'info (routes/index.js:34) GET 200 /index'

var winston = require('winston')
var path = require('path')
var PROJECT_ROOT = path.join(__dirname, '..')

var logger = new winston.logger({ ... })

// this allows winston to handle output from express' morgan middleware
