Most-asked Uber Senior Software Engineer questions
Ranked by how often each question appeared in reports for this exact position. Answers are written by our team.
Design a system architecture for Uber Eats.
Uber Eats uses a microservices architecture: API Gateway routes to independent Order, Restaurant, User, and Delivery services. PostgreSQL handles transactional data (orders, payments) with strong consistency; Cassandra/MongoDB scale non-critical data (reviews, metrics). Kafka enables async inter-service communication. Redis caches restaurants and sessions. Elasticsearch indexes restaurants/dishes. WebSockets provide real-time order tracking and notifications. A CDN serves static assets. Key insight: prioritize consistency for payments, eventual consistency elsewhere. Use load balancing and horizontal scaling for reliability.
