eBay Internals

javablogs.com -> ostas.blogspot.com -> addsimplicity.com :

It's a presentation on the internal architecture of eBay. Some statistics : 212,000,000 registered users, 2 Petabytes of data, 26 Billion SQL executions, and over 1 billion page views (!!) per day.

Under the section "Scaling the Application Tier - Massively Scaling J2EE", they have a "Step 1 - Throw out most of J2EE. eBay scales on servlets and a rewritten connection pool". That's interesting :)
