#MesosCon 2015

When it comes to hardware, most companies underutilize it; sometimes letting it lying idle for days without activity. When we started the project to build a staging environment for PayPal, we had the opportunity to design an environment, which is dynamic, on demand, and highly available. Through Mesos and the Aurora scheduler, we are able to deploy 200+ VMs simultaneously and create a mini PayPal environment for developers to connect from their VMs, desktops or mobile devices. This presentation will cover how we are reducing operational cost of hardware and building a scalable environment, which is improving the efficiency for PayPal developers.
