IV. Backing Services


Any resource consumed over the network: databases, mail servers, cloud services, etc.


Anything external to your app (but could be local to your environment)


Should not have to change any code to redeploy – should be config changes if anything


Clearly Tech – Importance Rating: High


 
We've mentioned Splunk, and if you're not familiar, it's an enterprise piece of software that will aggregate logs from multiple sources (servers, computers, etc):http://www.splunk.com/en_us/products/splunk-enterprise.html

V. Build, Release, Run


Build stage – transform which converts the code repo into an executable bundle


Release stage – combines the build with the required config and deposits it somewhere


Run – runs the app in the execution environment (development, staging, production, other)


Rolling back may be more complicated when you start talking about database schemas / data changes


Clearly Tech – Importance Rating: Conceptual???


 
Version numbers? What do you prefer? Version numbers with major and minor revisions? Or do you prefer timestamps?
 
 
VI. Processes


Stateless and Share Nothing


No local session


Make sure saving files go to an available repository




Clearly Tech – Importance Rating: High (Joe wants higher than high)

Tips
 
Allen: Find problematic queries that are killing your SQL Server...replace 123 with the spid from sp_who2.
 
sp_who2 'active'
DBCC INPUTBUFFER(123)
 
If you want to be mean....replace 123 with the spid from sp_who2
KILL 123
 
Additionally, if there's high CPU and low I/O, it's likely either a missing or a fragmented index.
