Verifying the scalability and reliability of microservices for a large-scale e-commerce platform

随着各种联网设备(例如计算机、智能手机、平板电脑和智能手表)的迅速采用，人们在线行为和现实生活之间的界限开始变得模糊。以餐饮业为例。一方面，餐馆正在寻找新的方式来吸引和联系他们的食客。这些餐厅不仅希望为传统的无预约用餐者提供服务，还希望接受在线预订甚至外卖订单的用餐请求。另一方面，用餐者要求在点餐时获得新的无缝统一的体验。越来越多的食客更喜欢提前使用智能手机和移动支付订购和支付食物，并立即在餐厅取货。

With the rapid adoption of various internet-connected devices (e.g., computers, smartphones, tablets and smart-watches), the boundary between what people do online and in real-life begin to blur. Take restaurant business for example. On one hand, restaurants are looking for new approaches to engage and connect with their diners. These restaurants want to not only service traditional walk-in diners, but also to accept dinning requests from online reservations or even take-out orders. On the other hand, diners demand new seamless and unified experience in ordering their food. More and more diners prefer to order and pay their food using their smartphones and mobile payments beforehand and pick it up in the restaurants right away.
