This index as JSON: https://banes-lab.com/json/api/facets/lex/category/portability-infrastructure-deployment

## Entries

- [Platform Migration](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/platform-migration.md): The ability to move a system to a different platform with little or no rework.
- [Platform Optimization](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/platform-optimization.md): The degree to which staying portable across platforms forgoes optimizations specific to any one of them.
- [Platform-Specific Coupling](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/platform-specific-coupling.md): Binding code to one platform's APIs and assumptions, so it cannot run elsewhere without rewriting.
- [Cross-Platform Deployment](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/cross-platform-deployment.md): The ability to deploy the same software unchanged across different operating systems and platforms.
- [Native Optimization](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/native-optimization.md): The degree to which staying platform-independent forgoes optimizations native to a specific platform.
- [OS/Vendor Lock-In](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/os-vendor-lock-in.md): Depending on one operating system or vendor's proprietary features, so switching away becomes costly or impossible.
- [Platform Abstraction](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/platform-abstraction.md): The requirement that platform-specific details sit behind an abstraction the rest of the system depends on.
- [Reliable Deployment](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/reliable-deployment.md): The ability to deploy with confidence because every environment behaves the same way.
- [Snowflake Environments](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/snowflake-environments.md): Environments each configured by hand into unique, unreproducible states, so what works in one fails in another.
- [Externalized Config](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/externalized-config.md): The requirement that configuration live outside the container image so one image runs in any environment.
- [Host-Coupled Deployment](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/host-coupled-deployment.md): Deploying software that depends on specifics of its host machine, so it cannot be moved or reproduced elsewhere.
- [Image Complexity](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/image-complexity.md): The degree to which packaging everything into a container image grows the image and its maintenance burden.
- [Image Definition](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/image-definition.md): A declarative file specifying how a container image is built from a base and its dependencies.
- [Repeatable Runtime Packaging](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/repeatable-runtime-packaging.md): The ability to package an application and its runtime into one reproducible, portable unit.
- [Automated Provisioning](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/automated-provisioning.md): The ability to create and configure infrastructure automatically from declarative definitions.
- [Manual Infrastructure Changes](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/manual-infrastructure-changes.md): Changing infrastructure by hand instead of through code, so its state is undocumented and unreproducible.
- [Version Control](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/version-control.md): A system that records changes to files over time so any version can be recovered, compared, or audited.
- [Applicable Standard](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/applicable-standard.md): The requirement that the relevant external standard a system must meet be identified and adhered to.
- [Certification/Compatibility](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/certification-compatibility.md): The ability to certify a system and interoperate with others by conforming to a shared standard.
- [Innovation/Flexibility](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/innovation-flexibility.md): The degree to which conforming to an external standard limits the freedom to innovate beyond it.
- [Proprietary Deviation](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/proprietary-deviation.md): Deviating from a shared standard with proprietary extensions, breaking interoperability with conformant systems.
- [Adapter/Port Abstraction](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/adapter-port-abstraction.md): A boundary abstraction separating core logic from external protocols via port interfaces and pluggable adapters.
- [Protocol Swap](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/protocol-swap.md): The ability to switch the transport or wire protocol without changing core domain logic.
- [Protocol-Coupled Domain Logic](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/protocol-coupled-domain-logic.md): Domain logic written directly against a specific protocol, so changing the protocol means rewriting the core.
- [Protocol-Specific Features](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/protocol-specific-features.md): The degree to which staying protocol-independent forgoes features unique to any one protocol.
- [Config Schema](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/config-schema.md): A schema defining the structure, types, and defaults of a system's externalized configuration.
- [Config Sprawl](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/config-sprawl.md): The degree to which externalizing configuration across many sources scatters it and makes it hard to track.
- [Environment-Specific Deployment](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/environment-specific-deployment.md): The ability to deploy one build into different environments by supplying environment-specific configuration.
- [Secure Config Handling](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/secure-config-handling.md): The requirement that secrets and sensitive configuration be stored and injected securely, never hardcoded.
- [Deploy Time](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/deploy-time.md): The degree to which replacing whole instances rather than patching them in place lengthens deployment time.
- [Deterministic Redeploys](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/deterministic-redeploys.md): The ability to redeploy identical infrastructure every time by replacing instances from a fixed definition.
- [In-Place Server Mutation](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/in-place-server-mutation.md): Modifying running servers in place over time, so their state drifts and can no longer be reproduced.
- [Instance Replacement over Mutation](https://banes-lab.com/records/lex/instance-replacement-over-mutation.md): The ability to update infrastructure by replacing instances wholesale rather than mutating them in place.
