Rules that apply · 3

Every rule whose selector covers this component's kind or its category. Whether a rule fires depends on the design: its properties, its edges and its groups.

push-fanout-without-celebrity-path

Pure push fan-out over a social graph is brutal at the tail: one post from an account with millions of followers becomes millions of cache writes. A follower threshold above which readers merge at read time bounds that write amplification.

  • — all of these hold:
  • — the node's `fanoutStrategy` is "push"
  • — the node's `fanoutThreshold` has no value
  • — the design contains a node of kind graph-database
shared-worker-pool-across-queues

One worker pool consuming several queues lets a slow or poisoned queue starve the others. That is precisely what the design's per-queue isolation requirement forbids.

  • — all of these hold:
  • — the node has more than 1 incoming edge from a queue
  • — the design requirement `isolation.perQueue` is true
stateful-node-without-zone-redundancy

A stateful compute node pinned to exactly one availability zone disappears with that zone, and its state goes with it. Nodes inside a cell are exempt, because there the cell is deliberately single-zone and redundancy comes from the other cells.

  • — all of these hold:
  • — the node's `stateless` is false
  • — the node sits inside exactly 1 availability-zone group
  • — this does not hold:
  • — the node sits inside at least one cell group

# AWS Thinkbox Deadline 10: self-installed render farm manager whose Workers pull tasks from a
# Repository on a shared network path. In maintenance since 7 November 2025 per "Services in
# Maintenance"; no end-of-support date has been published (checked 2026-09-07), so it stays
# placeable. The Deadline 10 user manual overview lists Pulse, the Remote Connection Server and the
# License Forwarder as optional applications, so each defaults to absent.
