Guiding Principles

Principles

1. Use native GCP tools if they are “good enough”
2. Contributions welcome
   • We welcome outside contributions and strive to make this an easy experience
3. No Snowflakes
   • Runway leverages economies of scale. We achieve this through standardization and avoiding one-off customizations.
4. Iterations are as small as possible, not necessarily small
5. Keep complexity to a minimum
   • Prefer simple solutions that solve an existing problem over complex “elegant” solutions that solve problems that might surface in the future. Delete unused code.
6. The interface is stable
   • If we change the way Runway works, it is on us to provide a migration path or do the migration ourselves.
7. Customer-usability
   • Design features with Self-Managed (cloud native) and Dedicated in mind.
