一句话：以EmpireBet平台15年演进为例，总结大型在线博彩系统的架构、非功能需求与可复用抽象。
在线体育博彩是规模达500亿美元的软件驱动产业，其系统庞大、复杂、分布式且并发，并需满足高可用、实时、可扩展、可靠与安全等严格非功能需求。本文以EmpireBet系列在线体育博彩平台15年的构建与部署经验为对象，回顾从初创四人、拨号间歇连接到由20名开发者用27种编程与标记语言维护、覆盖30多国、集成50多个第三方系统、日处理数千万交易、服务68万持续在线玩家的演进。作者强调成功来自对关键非功能需求的显式关注、模块化可扩展架构、新抽象及可复用库。
Online sports betting is a $50B industry that is heavily driven by software. The domain imposes significant demands on developers: the resulting solutions are large, complex, distributed, concurrent software systems with strict availability, real-time performance, scalability, reliability, and security requirements. This paper describes our experience with EmpireBet, a family of online sports betting platforms built and deployed over the past 15 years. The initial solution, implemented by four developers in a start-up, catered to users who connected to the system intermittently, for limited periods, via dial-up connections. Today’s system, engineered and maintained in 27 programming and markup languages by a team of 20 developers, is deployed in over 30 countries, integrated with over 50 third-party systems, and processes tens of millions daily transactions by over 680,000 players who are continuously using the system. This was accomplished via an an explicit focus on EmpireBet’s critical non-functional requirements; a modular, extensible architecture; a set of novel abstractions we introduced into the system; and several reusable libraries developed in the process.
