How Uber Shows Nearby Drivers Quickly and Reliably

21 Oct 2024

Description

In this episode, we explore the system behind Uber's driver-matching functionality, capable of handling an incredible one million requests per second. We break down the key technologies that make it work, from H3, the hexagonal grid system for location indexing, to Ringpop, which scales services across servers. You'll hear about how GPS data is transformed into road segments, and how databases like Cassandra and Redis power this high-demand platform. Whether you're curious about large-scale systems or just fascinated by Uber's tech, this episode simplifies complex engineering into something anyone can understand.
