Application categorization

A category provides a way to group applications, which would tend to have consistent size and hosting requirements. Application categorization based on common attributes sets a particular application apart from others.

Use the following table to determine the category:

Category	Qualifying attributes
Marketing	Centrally managed Fast time to market Templated sites Standardized features and functionality
Portal	Login required Core centrally managed and site-specific features decentralized Almost all authenticated traffic Harder to cache by CDN or Varnish
Evergreen	Applications or brands that are not going anywhere Ongoing feature enhancements (Managed by the central team) Mostly anonymous users
B2B	More static in nature Core Centrally Managed; Site specific features decentralized Some sites may require login or email registration.
Intranet	Gated from public access / unavailable to public internet Core centrally managed and site-specific features decentralized Almost all authenticated traffic Harder to cache by CDN or Varnish Made for internal audience
