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?

git for dropbox users: Don't be afraid!

git is awesome

We use git at Bump for all sorts of things. Recently, we've started converting our designers and product managers. You can think about git like Dropbox: it takes files on your computer, puts them in the cloud, and lets other people work on them too. But it has some pretty rocking advantages:

Collaboration

Like Dropbox, git lets multiple people work on the same files at the same time. This is great when many people are working on a document together, or a group of people are creating assets for a website. Everyone can be contributing to the same folder and files, without fear of overwriting eachother's work, something Dropbox can scew up.
