Case Study: Uber achieves faster, cheaper event-driven architecture with Serverless Inc

Uber cuts deployment time from 30 minutes to seconds with Serverless Inc

Uber faced the challenge of modernizing its conventional architecture, which relied on load balancers and application servers, to improve deployment times, reduce costs, and increase its feature shipping rate. The company partnered with Serverless Inc. and adopted a serverless, event-driven architecture built on the Serverless Framework to address these scalability and efficiency hurdles.

Serverless Inc. implemented a solution comprising 170 functions, which dramatically reduced Uber's deployment time from 30 minutes to seconds. This new architecture also resulted in a 95% reduction in costs while enabling the company to ship 15 times more features per month, significantly improving its agility and time-to-market.
