A while back, I realized that you can break down the requirements for writing a large-scale system into five areas: scalability, availability, security, managability, and everything else. I often use this breakdown when consulting, and you'd be surprised to see how obvious it makes what people are missing.
I wrote up my results in a little whitepaper a while back, which I've since updated with some refinements around security. I've converted it to HTML and put it here.
