4. Moore’s Law for Data
• The amount of data online went from
– 5 exabytes in 2002
– 281 exabytes in 2009
• Doubled every 15 months
• You cannot deal with this data growth with
the same applications
– A reasonable conclusion is that the number of
applications will double every 15 months too

5. Application Development is yet to have
its Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution was driven by three key technologies:
• Componentization – making tools and products from re-usable, standardized components.
• Which relied on standardized metrics/measures so that components could fit together
• Factories – A large clean space where multiple parts of the production process could share light, power
and management to create consistency and governance.
• The IT industry is only just now reaching its industrial revolution. Open Standards are the metrics,
Modularity Code and SOA are the componentization. Platform-as-a-Service is the Factory.

14. eBay case study
High volume API management
• Requirements:
– “The solutions we were using no longer met our needs, so we considered whether to build a
new internal system or to adopt third-party technology”, Abhinav Kumar, eBay
– Needed enhanced service mediation and orchestration capabilities
– Scalability and performance to sustain increasing loads
• Evaluation:
– eBay evaluated several industry leading hardware and software ESB solutions, looking at
open source, commercially licensed ESBs and hardware
– Test production during 2009 holiday season proved that our system was rock solid
• Approach:
– Shared-nothing architecture on RedHat Linux on x86 hardware
– Currently running at more than 1 billion messages / day
– Low resource utilization and flat memory usage
• Benefits:
– “Using the WSO2 ESB, we've been able to provide customers and partners with the quality
experience they expect on eBay, even as our global customer base has grown,” Abhinav
Kumar, eBay
