No More Hops: Towards a linearly scalable application infrastructure. Owen Taylor Blog:

About me... ORBs Containers Frustration “The Final Frontier”

Technical Target: Linear Scalability Process increasing volume of information –Scale out to get more processing power when volume increases Shorter time –Mostly through parallelizing of transactions Lower cost –Pooling low commodity resources Total TPS = X*N X TPS Processing unit 1 Processing unit 2 Processing unit 3 Processing unit N Incoming Transactions

4 Database-Based Architectures: scaling bottlenecks Data – I/O overhead, Contention Messaging – Complex workflows increase latencies Processing – CPU, Parallelization Silo approach, each tier has its own clustering model, lots of moving parts

Another Way of Looking at It: A Tightening Bottleneck Static Web Thousands of (concurrent) connections Web App Hundreds of connections Business components Dozens of connections Database Several connections

6 Services can be Java, C++,.Net Content-Based Routing Typical SOA model based on ESB Most ESB solutions do not address stateful services and often use a centralized database to share state between services

TPC: Transparent Partitioning & Colocation The next wave of applications will scale in this manner –Because Gartner says so Many already scale one or two tiers in this way –Partitioned Databases with Triggers –Content-Based Routing though Messaging with coupled consumers –All-in one web applications using caching (IMDG) Space-Based Architecture offers an implementation of TPC using Spaces –GigaSpaces enables this architecture for.NET, C++, and Java

Space-Based Architecture is an Implementation of TPC Utilizing a single logical/virtual resource to share: –Data –Logic –Events Services: –Interact with each other through the space –Can be co-located with data/events for faster results –Are deployed and managed in an adaptive and fail-safe way } Objects!

22 Building SBA Application – How it works.. Step 1: –Implement POJO domain model Step 2: –Implement the POJO Services Step 3: –Wire the services through spring Step 4: –Packaging –Deploy to Grid (Scale-Out) Register

23 Come To The “Let’s Code” BOF!!! November 8 th PM in “City Room” Everyone bring a laptop Download GigaSpacesXAP6.0.1 – Install Eclipse 3.3 Europa [ or Intellij ] Go to my blog and download: “projectcreator.jar” (it is a zip in hiding) –

Code Time: The project-creator Demo This example shows –Rapid development of two simple projects Processor Publisher –Integration with IDE Run projects in eclipse to test quickly –Fail-safe behavior without code awareness Run projects in Service Containers for transparent: –Failover –Scaling

25 So, Why use a Declarative SBA? Simple! –Building a fully fledged distributed application becomes just a matter of wiring simple local beans It’s all declarative through annotation or XML Non intrusiveness through abstraction –High level abstraction provides higher degree of flexibility to plug-in different solutions from different topologies, technologies and standards without compromising on the least common denominator Extremely Extensible –Very easy to extend the model and the underlying implementation without changing the application Reduced learning curve – It’s just Spring –If you already know Spring – you are ready to begin Fits natively to the existing Spring model Utilizes common practices such as annotation, IoC etc.
