When developing applications for the cloud, we at xioo® follow certain design principles to improve the scalability, resilience and manageability of the application.
These principles include:
1,)
Self-healing: We design your application to automatically recover in case of failures.
2.)
Redundancy: We ensure that all components of your application are redundant to avoid failures of individual parts.
3.)
Minimize coordination: We avoid unnecessary dependencies between application services to increase scalability.
4.)
Horizontal scaling: We design your application to scale by adding or removing instances.
5.)
Partitioning: We use partitioning to overcome limitations on database, network and compute resources.
6.)
Operations focus: We take the needs of the operations team into account when developing your application.
7.)
Managed Services: We use Platform-as-a-Service services instead of Infrastructure-as-a-Service where possible.
8.)
Data storage: We choose the storage technology that is best suited to your data and application.
9.)
Evolutionary design: We take into account that applications need to evolve over time.
10.)
Business requirements: We ensure that every decision in the design process is justified by a business requirement.
