Scaling Uber: Systems, Teams, and AI Engineering
Ex‑Uber CTO Thuan Pham on scaling systems, microservices, platform teams, and using AI to transform software engineering.
Platform Engineering on ThecoreGrid focuses on building internal platforms that enable scalable, reliable, and efficient software delivery.
We explore how to design developer platforms, golden paths, and self-service infrastructure that reduce cognitive load and standardize engineering workflows. Topics include Kubernetes-based platforms, internal developer portals, CI/CD integration, Infrastructure as Code, and GitOps practices. We analyze trade-offs between flexibility and standardization, platform abstraction vs control, and the operational cost of maintaining platform layers at scale. Content is grounded in BigTech practices, incident post-mortems, and lessons from evolving platform ecosystems in highload environments. You’ll find deep dives into multi-tenant architectures, security boundaries, observability, and developer experience optimization. Instead of high-level overviews, the Platform Engineering tag delivers practical insights for platform teams, DevOps engineers, SREs, and architects building robust internal platforms for modern engineering organizations.
