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."

• http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

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

// Properties you need as an enum - problem of key value coding is it allows you to type *anything*, typos compile fine.
enum SyncObjectPropertyName {
	case Archived
	case Title
}

// Protocol shared both for local and server
