Claims20
A computing system for managing multiple online marketplace services, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memory resources storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing system to implement multiple instances of a set of logical components to concurrently and independently provide the multiple online marketplace services, each instance of the set of logical components providing one of the multiple online marketplace services by performing operations that include:
- receiving information from a seller that identifies an asset for sale on the online marketplace;
- transmitting data to user devices to enable the user devices to display information regarding the asset;
- implementing the online marketplace service for the asset;
- wherein the multiple online marketplace services include a first online marketplace service hosted from a first domain by a first host and a second online marketplace service hosted from a second domain by a second host;
- and
- wherein an amount of processing resources from the one or more processors for providing one or more of the multiple instances of logical components is dynamically adjusted based on a demand level of one or more of the multiple online marketplace services.
A method for operating an online marketplace system, the method being implemented by a computing system that includes one or more processors and one or more memory resources, comprising:
- implementing multiple instances of a set of logical components to concurrently and independently provide multiple online marketplace services;
- wherein each instance of the set of logical components provides one of the multiple online marketplace services by performing operations that include:
- receiving information from a seller that identifies an asset for sale on the online marketplace;
- transmitting data to user devices to enable the user devices to display information regarding the asset;
- implementing the online marketplace service for the asset;
- wherein the multiple online marketplace services include a first online marketplace service hosted from a first domain by a first host and a second online marketplace service hosted from a second domain by a second host;
- and
- wherein an amount of processing resources from the one or more processors for providing one or more of the multiple instances of logical components is dynamically adjusted based on a demand level of one or more of the multiple online marketplace services.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform steps comprising:
- implementing multiple instances of a set of logical components to concurrently and independently provide multiple online marketplace services;
- wherein each instance of the set of logical components provides one of the multiple online marketplace services by performing operations that include:
- receiving information from a seller that identifies an asset for sale on the online marketplace;
- transmitting data to user devices to enable the user devices to display information regarding the asset;
- implementing the online marketplace service for the asset;
- wherein the multiple online marketplace services include a first online marketplace service hosted from a first domain by a first host and a second online marketplace service hosted from a second domain by a second host;
- and
- wherein an amount of processing resources from the one or more processors for providing one or more of the multiple instances of logical components is dynamically adjusted based on a demand level of one or more of the multiple online marketplace services.
