eBay currently has billions of items available for search. The search engine at any given time can get around 100K’s of queries per second for search within this inventory.In order to support this scale of traffic and the size of the inventory we need thousands of servers. The inventory is sharded and then replicated across these servers to handle the traffic. In this talk we will go through how we migrated the application to kubernetes and its deployment architecture while meeting some of the business requirements for resiliency and availability. We will also go through our index distribution architecture that leverages kubernetes principles. At the end we will also share our challenges and learnings while deploying the application on kubernetes.
