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?

Things I track or would like to be able to track in GA (and other tools when GA falls down)

• Page views
• Accurate time on page google for "bounce rate time on page issues")
• Referral traffic URL (it's great that I got 50 views from reddit, but which post so I can go read comments - currently have to use Reddit Domain search)
• Amazon Affiliates reports (I have affiliate links on book review posts)
• Twitter stats (tweets, retweets, etc - currently have to use Twitter Search)
• RSS Subscribers
• Conversion from reader to RSS/Email/other CTA
• Page load time (one number ala github dashboard, link)

// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.

// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.
