Microsoft Technet hosts lot of documents about SharePoint, one of them is the “SharePoint Server 2010 capacity management: Software boundaries and limits” which describes software boundaries and limits of Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010.

Below is article index and some interesting points:

Basic definitions:

Boundaries: Static limits that cannot be exceeded by design

Thresholds: Configurable limits that can be exceeded to accommodate specific requirements

Supported limits: Configurable limits that have been set by default to a tested value.

Index:

Overview of boundaries and limits,
Article contains information to help you understand the tested performance and capacity limits of SharePoint Server 2010, and offers guidelines for how limits relate to acceptable performance. The test results and guidelines provided in article apply to a single SharePoint Server 2010 farm. Adding servers to the installation might not increase the capacity limits of the objects that are listed

• Boundaries, thresholds and supported limits
  In SharePoint Server 2010, there are certain limits that are by design and cannot be exceeded, and other limits that are set to default values that may be changed by the farm administrator. There are also certain limits that are not represented by a configurable value, such as the number of site collections per Web application.
• How limits are established
• The Equalizer Metaphor

Limits and boundaries

• Limits by hierarchy
  • Web application limits
    300 Content databases per Web application
    5 Zones per Web application
    20 Managed paths per Web application
  • Web server and application server limits
    10 Application pools per Web server
    
  • Content database limits
    200 GB per content database
    Content database sizes up to 1 terabyte are supported only for large, single-site repositories and archives with non-collaborative I/O and usage patterns, such as Records Centers.
    When SharePoint Server 2010 is configured to use RBS, and the BLOBs reside on NAS storage, consider the following boundary. From the time that SharePoint Server 2010 requests a BLOB, until it receives the first byte from the NAS, no more than 20 milliseconds can pass
  • Site collection limits
    A site collection should not exceed 100 GB unless it is the only site collection in the database.
    
  • List and library limits
    List row size 8,000 bytes
    30,000,000 Documents per library
    30,000,000 Items per list

Recently I’ve been searching for a way how to make SQL side of Sharepoint nice and clean. Thanks to Todd Klindt, I’ve been able to achieve this without any serious problem.

In his article it’s pretty nicely described the process how to get rid of the GUID from the name of the configuration database who, as all you know, gets created in the installation process and we have no control in the beginning to change its name.

Jeff Dalton: Adventures In SharePoint Land : http://sharepoint.nailhead.net/2010/02/unhandled-exceptions-that-can-crash.html

His team discovered some nastiness with unhandled exceptions inside their custom SharePoint code. Specifically they found that unhandled exceptions inside of SharePoint.Publishing.LoginRunningOperationJob can result an IIS Application Pool crash.

The reason is because this class puts the delegate code onto a separate thread that when aborted can leave the Application Pool in an unstable state. Which can (and does) result in an Application Pool recycle (which is bad for very large SharePoint sites that take a few minutes to spin-up).

So you need to make sure that your delegate code is wrapped in try/catch and do NOT throw the error from inside your catch (same as unhandled exception).
