• Understand consequences and how to balance tradeoffs
• Pick the right library for your problem
• Thoroughly analyze all of your service’s dependencies
• Understand delivery semantics and how they influence distributed architecture
• Design and execute performance tests to detect code hot paths and validate a system’s SLA
• Detect and optimize hot paths in your code to focus optimization efforts on root causes
• Decide on a suitable data model for date/time handling to avoid common (but subtle) mistakes
• Reason about compatibility and versioning to prevent unexpected problems for API clients
• Understand tight/loose coupling and how it influences coordination of work between teams
• Clarify requirements until they are precise, easily implemented, and easily tested
• Optimize your APIs for friendly user experience
