Internet Scale Services Checklist

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

Basic tenets

  • Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
  • Have we kept things as simple as possible?

It's now here, in The Programmer's Compendium. The content is the same as before, but being part of the compendium means that it's actively maintained.

This is a list inspired by some of our current or potential lines of work at the World Bank Innovation Labs. The “Innovations in Big Data Analytics” program helps to strengthen the World Bank capabilities to effectively use big data in its operational and strategic work.

We are always looking for great Data Scientists. If you can solve any of these [using open software], you'll be heads down helping us from day one. Email us to brunosanchez@worldbank.org

1. Nightlights from Satellite

We are building an open stack to process nightly data from satellite and query light output from all known villages. Currently we are doing 20 years of nightly data for 600,000 villages in India.

Reminders to myself to help me get better at programming. I don't always manage to do these things, but I try. Please feel free to add your own reminders to yourself in the comments below!

Things that programmers don't know but should

(A book that I might eventually write!)

Gary Bernhardt

I imagine each of these chapters being about 2,000 words, making the whole book about the size of a small novel. For comparison, articles in large papers like the New York Times average about 1,200 words. Each topic gets whatever level of detail I can fit into that space. For simple topics, that's a lot of space: I can probably walk through a very basic, but working, implementation of the IP protocol.

Distributed systems questions

Questions about Distributed systems by @tsantero.

  1. explain the life of an http request.
  2. what does the FLP result teach us?
  3. what is a byzantine failure?
  4. explain CRDTs
  5. explain linearizability.
  6. how does DNS work?
  7. crash-stop vs crash-recovery?
  8. difference between soft and hard real time
Turning The Design Clock Back
Object-oriented design principles haven't had the effect we hoped for. The
SOLID principles are excellent design guidelines, but experience shows that
programmers find them difficult to follow. What do we do about this?
Surprisingly, the Structured Design literature of forty years ago contains
compelling solutions to many current design problems. They're simple and easy
to understand, but were lost in the noise as OO rose to popularity. We'll
reinterpret these simple design ideas in a modern context, finding that many of
our most promising new design ideas resemble them. Rapid web application
