Ever since自从 I attended 37 signals “Getting Real” workshop我参加了37个信号“获得真正的”讲习班 I’ve want to put some of their design principles to the test.我已经想提出他们的一些设计原则，以测试。 My company is Syntenic, a boutique consulting and services shop primarily focused on web operations, performance optimization via application delivery controllers (load balancing and server offload) and 24×7 high availability geographically distributed architecture.我公司是syntenic ，精品咨询和服务店主要集中于网络业务，通过性能优化的应用交付控制器（的负载平衡和服务器卸载）和24 × 7的高可用性在地理上的分布式体系结构。 What this means is that we are usually helping enhance the performance and reliability of our customers applications instead of building our own.这意味着什么，就是我们通常是帮助提高性能和可靠性，我们的客户申请，而是在建设我们自己。 Recently this has been changing as we increasingly are redesigning or developing applications from scratch for our customers.最近，这已改变，因为我们越来越多的重新设计或开发应用程序的从无到有，为我们的客户。
