48. BACKEND HIGHLIGHTS
49. Schemaless uses an append-only sparse three dimensional persistent hash map. A datastore developed by Uber with 5 goals in mind: 1) Linear scale - more storage and decreased response times 2) Writability - no middleware for fallback or retry 3) Notifications - triggers for downstream dependencies 4) Secondary Indexes - just like in Postgres to search for trips 5) Operational Trust - expert knowledge for mission-critical data DATA STORAGE WITH SCHEMA LESS
50. Trip details are stored as JSON blobs with versioning DATA STORAGE WITH SCHEMA LESS
51. MICRO-SERVICES Moving from a monolith solution to SOA created challenges related to obviousness, safety, and reliance. Our SOA architecture had to enable us for … 1) Discoverability - finding the right service out of 300+ should be trivial 2) Client Libraries - building SDKs for encapsulated services should be easy 3) Language - we need to have an architecture that is language-agnostic 4) Customizable - timeouts and retry policies are required and should be tunable 5) Efficiency - testing and development of new services with less overhead
52. THRIFT AS IDL-BASED ENCODING PROTOCOL Thrift forces service owners to publish strict interface definitions. Encoding/Decoding is efficient, compression is good, and it unifies JSON blobs for Schemaless.
53. DAILY DEPLOYMENT WITH UDEPLOY Consistent builds for services, zero downtime upgrades, automated error detection
54. USING UBER CONTEXT
56. Connect your user Detect when a user is on a ride Get the Uber Context Use the context to enhance your app!
57. Create an app in the Uber Developer Dashboard Scroll down, find the “Webhook URL” field and enter a URL that will receive webhooks from the API Before we start:
58. Connect your user Detect when a user is on a ride Get the Uber Context Use the context to enhance your app!
59. Let them securely sign in with their Uber account username and password • OAuth 2.0 • Single Sign On Connect your user
60. Connect your user Detect when a user is on a ride Get the Uber Context Use the context to enhance your app!
61. You’ll receive a webhook when their ride status changes. Use the `user_id` to figure out which one of your users is on a ride. Detect when a user is on a ride
62. Connect your user Detect when a user is on a ride Get the Uber Context Use the context to enhance your app!
63. Get information about your user’s ride! • Pickup/destination location • Going home or work • Uber Product Type • ETA / Duration • and more! Get the Uber Context
