Since the establishment of the opening principle of "mainly decentralization Number List and supplemented by centralization", the opening of Alipay has gradually accelerated. On July 21st, the Alipay 2022 Partner Conference was held in Hangzhou. The open data of Alipay in the past year was disclosed at the conference, with a total of 78 common products on the open platform; more than 200 scenario solutions were created with partners; Liveness increased by nearly 30%.
It is worth noting that Chen Xianda, general manager of Alipay ecological products, shared his actions and thoughts on the release of Alipay ecological products at the meeting. The following is the full text of his live speech.
Sun Wu: On the road of continuous opening, we have received a lot of valuable suggestions from merchants and partners, and some of these valuable suggestions are not lacking in some "shrill" voices. Here, I would like to thank everyone for their tolerance of our Alipay products. It is precisely because of these sincere voices that the entire product system has been driven to make better efforts to change.
01 Three key principles for doing a good job in ecological products
In the process of opening up infrastructure and building private domains, we have been thinking about how to open up the complex system of Alipay and better product methods to the ecosystem. After a period of practice, we found that if we want to do a good job in ecological products, there are three aspects that are very important.
First, the classification should be clear. The essence behind the classification is an abstraction and expression. How can we do a better abstraction of the domain model based on each business domain, and at the same time can express it well to customers? At the expression level, ecological products have their complexity, and they will face consumers at the same time. , for merchants, for partners, and for developers, different roles will bring their complexity.
Atoms can be recombined: behind atomization is actually cohesion and boundaries. Cohesion is easier to understand. Based on this model, a high cohesion and low coupling should be formed. The boundary corresponds to the ability of this product to have good scalable design capabilities, and we hope that our products can be integrated into various industry solutions in an atomic manner.
