Abstract:

eBay's Architectural Principles: Architectural Strategies, Patterns, and Forces for Scaling a Large eCommerce Site.

This session covers the fundamental architectural principles eBay has used to grow and evolve its infrastructure to massive scale.

It covers the forces (or "-ilities") architects need to contend with and design for - scalability, availability, manageability, etc. It outlines eBay's core set of architectural principles which meet - and trade off - those forces, describes reusable patterns for each strategy, and follows with specific examples from the eBay infrastructure which illustrate the patterns in action.
