On Nov 14th, 2009, I was all by myself & had a LONG & BORING 12hr transit at the Hong Kong airport! I was returning to Sri Lanka after a trip to the US, where I was a speaker at ApacheCon NA, 2009.
Since I had nothing better to do, I started looking at how multi-tenant service deployment & dispatching can be made to work in WSO2 WSAS (since then, this product has been renamed to WSO2 AppServer). I tweeted about what I was planning to do.
I started implementing this, and got very excited when the first request got dispatched to a tenant. So, again I tweeted about this (now historic) event.
During the next month, I got some of the other core stuff working, and like any good Tweep, tweeted about the progress.
My tweets had gotten Sanjiva excited, prompting him to send me the following mail.
The very first bits of the multi-tenancy code was developed in a scratch section of the WSO2 Subversion repo before it became stable enough to be committed to the trunk.
So, it's been 2 years since the first message got dispatched to a tenant at the HKG airport. Time well spent during a long transit. Over the past few years, this code was improved by many people & Stratos has grown from strength to strength to become the only complete open source Cloud middeware platform. StratoLive, the PaaS based on Stratos, went onto to become the first & only complete PaaS.
P.S. I used SnapBird to search through my old tweets.
