Canonical section: API considerations

Attribute the guidance to Jeff Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat. Do not assume every hint applies: inspect the code, identify the relevant cost, and measure or estimate before recommending a change.

This section includes:

  • Bulk APIs
  • View types
  • Pre-allocated/pre-computed arguments
  • Thread-compatible vs. Thread-safe types
