WSO2 Technology Executives and eBay Guest Presenter to Conduct Case Study Webinar on API Management

WSO2 Will be Joined by eBay Guest Presenter on June 7, for a Technical Webinar to Explore API Orchestration and High-Volume Transaction Processing Enabled by the WSO2 ESB Palo Alto, CA – May 31, 2012 – Increasingly enterprises are recognizing how APIs drive revenues and strengthen relationships with customers and partners. Perhaps no company understands relationships and revenue better than eBay. With more than 100 million active users globally, the total value of goods sold on eBay in 2011 was $68.6 billion—more than $2,100 every second. Each transaction was managed by one or more eBay APIs. To share best practices for API management, WSO2 will conduct a webinar entitled, “WSO2 & eBay Case Study - How eBay Uses the Open Source WSO2 ESB to Process Over 1 Billion Transactions Per Day.” WSO2 speakers Paul Fremantle, WSO2 co-founder and CTO, and Chris Haddad, vice president of technology evangelism, will be joined by guest presenter Abhinav Kumar, senior manager of the services platform at eBay. The session will be held Thursday, June 7, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PST.

The session also will:

• Explore the considerations eBay made during the ESB selection process.
• Review eBay’s architectural approach and WSO2 ESB deployment.
