The twelve factors describe conventions for deployable services: one codebase, declared dependencies, configuration in the environment, backing services as attached resources, strict build/release/run separation, stateless processes and logs as event streams.

What it is

The twelve-factor methodology lists twelve conventions: codebase, dependencies, config, backing services, build/release/run, processes, port binding, concurrency, disposability, dev/prod parity, logs and admin processes. Each factor is a short rule about how a service is built, configured and run so that it can be deployed on modern platforms without special cases.

Why it matters

Most of the factors remove hidden coupling: to a specific machine (config in the environment, port binding), to a specific deployment order (stateless processes, disposability), or to a specific developer laptop (declared dependencies, dev/prod parity). Services that follow them can be scaled, restarted and moved with fewer surprises.

How to apply

Use the list as a review checklist for a service rather than as dogma:

Can a fresh checkout be built with declared dependencies only?
Does every environment-specific value come from the environment, with no secrets in the repository?
Would the service survive being killed and restarted at any moment?
Are logs written to standard output as an event stream and collected elsewhere?
Are one-off administrative tasks run with the same code and configuration as the service?

Pitfalls

The factors were written for hosted web applications; batch jobs, desktop software and embedded systems need translation. "Config in the environment" does not mean that every knob must be an environment variable; it means no environment-specific values in the code. Stateless processes still need durable state somewhere, handled as a backing service.
