Abstract: In the distance from double 11 has been less than 10 days of this moment, an invisible smoke of war seems to have started. With the annual shopping spree just around the corner, jokes about Alibaba’s technological response to singles’ Day have flooded the Internet. “Ali engineers worship Guan Gong for server downtime”, “technical personnel around the quilt to knock code” and other rumors are also talked about by consumers. So, in view of the extremely severe technical pressure during the Double 11, how did Alibaba solve it? In the following paragraphs, let’s have a detailed understanding and visit to the technology behind Alibaba’s 2017 Double 11.

Container services: Resources on the cloud help you expand quickly
Container service is the container application management service launched by Ali Cloud in 2015, which supports more than 1,000 enterprise customers at the same time. It mainly supports the management of the full life cycle of Docker applications. The public cloud integrates aliyun’s virtualization, storage and network capabilities, simplifying the complexity of container application operation and maintenance. Swarm and Kubernetes are supported. It also provides two versions of public cloud and private cloud, allowing users to build a complete container o&M capability in their own data through private cloud.
Double during 11, too turbulent flow impact leads to the situation of insufficient resources, convenient container services can be done to maximize enterprise will be deployed in the original application deployment to the cloud in my own room, need for physical machines, also don’t need to install the operating system and rely on, as long as can be run directly down the mirror, it’s as simple as that.

Middleware: Creating value for enterprise architecture
Middleware was originally used to support ali Cloud itself as a series of systems, to serve customers and open to the outside world. Including recovery framework, message queue, real-time monitoring, performance testing and a series of Internet middleware products. On the basis of EADS platform, it provides a series of functions, such as rapid construction of microserver architecture, application development, service governance, high availability management and control, and traffic limitation and degradation. Through the visual platform, users can be helped to batch, interruptible, with the presentation of the release order, users can quickly deploy a large number of applications.
For message queuing (MQ) middleware, peak cutting and valley filling will also be in full swing during Double 11. The introduction of this component can help ali Cloud smooth the peak at the peak traffic, reduce the pressure, and then put the task in the period of low traffic peak consumption. To ensure that it is stable enough, Ali Cloud makes three backups of each message, and improves the support for a series of message types such as continuous message, sequential message, transaction message and timed message.
For the most critical distributed field like database, Ali Cloud DRDS distributed database products must be unavoidable. In the whole middleware team, distributed associated database DRDS was introduced externally. This product focuses on solving a series of distributed database problems such as read/write separation, database and table division, and wireless horizontal capacity expansion in the distributed domain, as well as the problems existing in the distributed traffic peak. Be transparent and business-friendly and provide personalized support for specific businesses.
Finally, the PTS stress test is also an excellent product in the performance testing area. It turns the whole pressure measurement service into SPSS. Customers do not need to deploy any components on the public cloud, but simply provide an entry point to the entire application to quickly use the pressure testing service. Moreover, it has the unique advantages of rich instruction testing, rapid process progress and automatic distribution of models.

Cloud storage: Object oriented and file oriented
In aliyun’s storage business, object storage OSS and file storage NAS can be said to be the masters of their own internal. Among them, object storage is praised for its features of Internet oriented, massive data, high security, economy and reliable data, while file storage is widely praised by users for its powerful performance and support for large capacity and multi-protocol.
There are three application scenarios of OSS: multimedia storage for pictures and videos, simplified data backup and archiving, and data mining based on computing platforms. For multimedia practitioners, the flexible scalability of OSS upstream and downstream enables them to effectively handle large numbers of concurrent requests at peak business times. Its signature mechanism not only ensures data security, but also reduces the burden on user servers.
NAS is different. As a distributed file storage service, NAS can use the flexibility of computing and file storage to solve the pain point of large-volume computing in special industries and provide users with the ability to train AI models in a short period of time, ensuring the parallel operation of high-performance storage and shared file access.
