9. 7 rules
of cloud-native
development

10. 1. Think services, not servers
2. Don’t reinvent the wheel
3. Don’t create silos
4. Don’t get in the way of the developer
5. Cookie-cutter first, customize later
6. Experiment quickly
7. Ship every day

11. 1.
Think services, not servers

12. Your last app

13. Your next app

14. Services are libraries
that run themselves

15. 2.
Don’t reinvent the wheel

17. What differentiates you?

18. Focus

we never could have launched so fast with a
team so small”

21. 3.
Don’t create silos

22. Web DBA Ops Systems

24. Product A

25. One team per product
One product per team
Run what you write

Don’t get in the way
of the developer

27. Functional Technical
requirements requirements
“It has to work for 100,000
“It has to be Java”
simultaneous connections”
“If you need more servers, ask
“We need to go Live by
Bob for it and wait”
Christmas”
“I heard Node.js is the future,
“It has to pass next quarter’s
rewrite it all in Node.js”
infosec audit”
“Your performance will be
“This can’t go down during
measured by the number of
next week’s demo. Do
lines of code written”
whatever it takes”

28. 5.
Cookie-cutter first,
customize later

29. Scott Vandenplas
Lead devops, Obama for America
“We started monitoring with plain old Nagios.
Not perfect but familiar and reliable.”
“Once we hit scale problems, we located the bottleneck
(NRPE) and replaced it with ZERORPC”
“It’s still Nagios, with just enough customization.
Investing that time upfront would have been a
waste of precious time.”

30. 6.
Experiment quickly

31. Isaac Wolkerstorfer
CTO, 6Wunderkinder
“1 million users in 9 months. How do we keep shipping
fast without breaking?”“Service-oriented means we

for one service and PHP for another. I only refactor
when I decide to”

32. 7.
Ship every day

33. Start Shipping on Day 1.
Don’t wait for the launch!
Replicate your stack in a sandbox that mirrors
the production environment.Deploy to that
sandbox every day.Give each developer his own
sandbox

speed

35. It’s all about
developer productivity
