In this Jazoon talk, you learn about the players in this sector and some of the technology behind today’s features. We’ll discuss architecture and designing for performance and reliability in the face of large-scale traffic with even larger-scale bursts during peak times such as the pre-Christmas buying season, holidays such as Valentine’s Day, and national tax deadlines. We’ll also consider the buy vs. build question with respect to these kinds of systems and, in the case of buy, how to design for the possibility of migration in the face of significant customization. Finally we’ll consider the requirements imposed by the increasing need for e-Commerce to stretch across channels, including social networks and mobile devices.
