Abstract
Described is a technology by which a system corresponding to a large scale application is built from subsystems that are differentiated from one another based on characteristics of each subsystem. Example characteristics include availability, reliability, redundancy, statefulness and/or performance. Subsystems are matched to known design patterns, based on each subsystem's individual characteristics. Each subsystem's characteristics are associated with that subsystem for subsequent use in operation of the system, e.g., for managing/servicing the subsystem. The known design patterns may be provided in a library, in a programming framework, in conjunction with a development tool, and/or as data associated with one or more operating system services, server systems and/or hosted services that include at least one configuration, policy and or schema. Certain design patterns and/or characteristics patterns may be blocked to prevent their usage.
