Concept

Achieving this Guiding Principle
Best Practice |
Applications and services are not designed with dependencies on deprecated components [1]; they may depend on contained components [2]. |
Applications and services log events and produce alerts needed to measure service levels and other metrics. |
Business rules and other system behaviors are configurable via Web-based UIs. |
Systems are auditable; all activities are logged. |
New applications and services are built using established development frameworks. |
Glossary:
[1] A Deprecated component is one that is (or will be) phased out from usage.
[2] A Contained component is no longer available for new usage.
