Google and eBay operate some of the largest Internet sites on the planet, and each maintains its leadership through continuous innovation in infrastructure and products. While substantially different in their detailed approaches, both organizations have lessons to teach about building and maintaining large-scale systems. This session tells several war stories from Google and eBay focusing on how to scale code, infrastructure, performance, and operations. It details hard-won lessons learned in scaling those companies' computing systems, organizations, and technology stacks. It finally describes how we put some of those lessons into practice in the context of real-time games at KIXEYE, and offers concrete suggestions you can apply to your own organization.
