■ Use Application Frameworks, and Write Code
■ Allow multiple frameworks, based on problem + team
■ Primary Key Data Architecture
■ Don’t use complex queries on the front edge !
■ Understand CP vs AP tradeoffs
■ You don’t always want CP
■ Build for both data growth, and transaction growth
Keys to Success
