Great presentation... have you checked out this design pattern project?

Have you checked out the nascent Design Patterns Project over at the Open Management Consortium?
www.open-management.com/community/open_standard...
The early efforts are around design patterns for automation, but many of the themes you touched on are well within the project's scope (of being a neutral repository for operations design patterns).

Glad you liked the presentation.
Thanks a lot for the pointer to the Design Patterns Project -- I hadn't known about it before. Looks like it is off to an encouraging start. I'll be interested to see how it evolves. It certainly would be valuable to have a repository for such patterns.

it seems like you apply very well a federated database system(or virtual database)
thanks in advance

A pdf version is available from the QCon SF conference track "Architectures you've always wondered about" (qcon.infoq.com/sanfrancisco/tracks/show_track.j...). Here is a direct link: www.eos1.dk/qcon/sf2007/slides/public/RandyShou...
You can certainly think of eBay's database strategy as federated, and we definitely virtualize the federated aspect to make the programming model simpler for the developers. "Sharding" is a related term which seems to be entering more common use. Whatever you call it, it has been critical to our ability to scale.
One thing I will add is that the fact that we implement the virtualization logic inside the application server (as opposed to some intermediate tier) has made it easier to optimize connections and request routing without an additional network hop.
