It offers 50 “rules” from 12 broad categories and quantifies the potential risks and costs of each. Those rules include the following:

  • Rule 19: Relax Temporal Constraints
  • Rule 25: Make Use of Object Caches
  • Rule 29: Failing to Design for Rollback is Designing for Failure
  • Rule 32: Use the Right Type of Database Lock
  • Rule 46: Be Wary of Scaling through Third Parties
  • Rule 13: Design to Leverage the Cloud
