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.
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
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
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
