摘要： Techniques are described for facilitating use of sequences of invocable services in a configurable manner, including by providing a metering service that tracks the use of invocable services by other invocable services or applications. In at least some situations, the invocable services are fee-based Web services or other fee-based network-accessible services, and are made available by providers of the services for use by others in exchange for fees defined by the service providers. The described techniques facilitate use of a sequence of such invocable services by applications in a manner configured by the creators of the applications and providers of the services, including to allow the application creators to define pricing terms that will be used to determine fees that end users of the applications will be charged for use of the invocable services via the applications.

摘要： Techniques are described for facilitating interactions between computing systems, such as in accordance with usage models that are configured for available services by the providers of the services. In some situations, the services are Web services, and an electronic Web service (“WS”) marketplace is provided via which third-party WS providers make their WSes available to third-party WS consumers who purchase access to those WSes via the electronic marketplace based on configured usage models selected by the consumers. Some or all of the one or more usage models configured for an available WS may each have associated use prices and/or non-price use conditions, and if so access to those WSes using those usage models may be provided only if a consumer requesting access provides appropriate payment and otherwise satisfies the specified use conditions for a selected usage model.

摘要： To achieve long running batch updates, a transaction aggregator layer and one or more data aggregation queues, such as a command queue, are placed between one or more clients and a database. Writes go to the database aggregator layer and are enqueued in the appropriate data aggregation queue, which may be allocated by transaction. Committing the transaction drains the queue and writes the contents of the queue in one transaction-like update to the database. By using the transaction logic in the transaction aggregator layer, transaction-like behavior may be achieved that allows both updates and transactions to scale with less impact on database servers.
