The Six Weeks and 12 People Magic

WSO2 Stratos Services are live, up and running.

This is the latest technology miracle from WSO2. A complete Cloud platform was built from ground up within just six weeks.

Yes we had experience with Cloud deployments thanks to governance as a service and cloud identity deployments that we did last year. But this was a novel design with an integrated view of services, with a single cloud manager and also bunch of new features.

The technology involved is bleeding edge and state of the art, with true multi-tenancy, complex tenant-aware security, billing, metering, monitoring and with six unique and comprehensive services. Simply we have built the best you can get with respect to SOA on the cloud today.

The success can be attributed to many aspects. But the paramount is the people involved. About 12 in total, and may be another 6 to 8 support roles. No more than 20 anyway. Six weeks ago, it would have been a dream, and today it is a reality. And also the vision and guidance from Paul and Sanjiva cannot be underestimated. And also the expertise of people like Azeez, Shankar, Amila and Dimuthu (and bunch of others).

Technology that we have build over the last couple of years also have helped us leap frog to this success in the cloud era. The design of the Carbon platform makes us so effective in our new designs and our ability to take up on brave new expeditions to unknown technology landscapes, and emerge successful at the end. Cloud effort has proven that the investment we have done on WSO2 Carbon was a very wise, timely and worthy. Not only that we have built technology that is unmatched by our competitors, but also WSO2 Carbon has helped us harvest a great set of skills in our team. I do not think that any company would be able to pull off this kind of a ground breaking innovative software release within this amount of time and with this amount of resources.

Personally I feel really happy, proud and content with what our team has done by today.
And as always, we have just begun. More excitement is yet to happen! There are much more to be done, and much more we are itching to achieve.

Welcome to the new era of cloud computing!!!
