Softwares that works well on multiple environments

[joeljuca]

Multiple environments are a challenge that's often underestimated by developers and/or architects.

Thinks to talk about when writing about this:

• Put a TL;DR pointing to 12factor.net
• Post Twelve-Factor topics and comment each one of them

The Twelve-Factor App

1. One codebase tracked in revision control, many deploys
2. Explicitly declare and isolate dependencies
3. Store config in the environment
4. Treat backing services as attached resources
5. Strictly separate build and run stages
6. Execute the app as one or more stateless processes
7. Export services via port binding
8. Scale out via the process model
9. Maximize robustness with fast startup and graceful shutdown
10. Keep development, staging, and production as similar as possible
11. Treat logs as event streams
12. Run admin/management tasks as one-off processes
