Wearing my old Synapse Hat on again.., thats certainly good to hear!
When I first started working on a non-blocking HTTP transport [1] and
wrote the implementation based on HttpComponents [2] almost 4-5 years
ago, I didn't imagine that it would someday drive traffic at eBay!
Credit for this also goes to the Apache HttpCore/NIO project, and
especially to Oleg Kalnichevski who helped us immensely to get NHTTP
going in those early days
....
Getting back to the present from 4-5 years back .. The UltraESB shows
that much better performance levels can be easily achieved today with a
further improved NIO implementation utilizing Zero-Copy proxying [3] and
well designed and clean code. Now that means any further X times
improvement in performance would yield X times savings for a user. It
would be interesting to do a performance comparison..

Folks
I wanted to let you know of a recent case study we published around
eBay's use of the WSO2 ESB. The URL is here:
http://freo.me/nTUqu6
The WSO2 ESB is fundamentally based on Apache Synapse. 1.2billion
transactions a day (actually 2.4 if you count each request and
response!) go through the
Synapse ESB in just one customer.
