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?

Setting the AWS API Key & Secret

To start using Serverless and access the AWS API you need to set the AWS API Access Key & Secret.

Quick Setup

As a quick setup to get started you can export them as environment variables so they will be accessible to Serverless and the AWS SDK in your shell:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret>

	FROM alpine:latest

	RUN apk add --no-cache --update \
	python \
	python-dev \
	py-pip \
	build-base \
	git

	RUN pip install awscli

	# Checkout a PR from the current repo
	function copr { git fetch origin pull/$1/head:pr-$1; git checkout pr-$1; }

	# Get the current PR from the branch name
	function current_pr {
	git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD \| grep -oE "\d+"
	}

	# Update the PR
	function upr {

	module exports = class SomePlugin extends ServerlessPlugin{

	//Contructor should be defined in ServerlessPlugin so you don't have to recreate it here
	constructor(pluginConfig, serverlessConfig, serverlessUtils) {
	this.pluginConfig = pluginConfig;
	this.serverlessConfig = serverlessConfig;
	this.serverlessUtils = serverlessUtils;
	}

	beforeDeployResources(params) {
