The Uber Engineering Tech Stack, Part I: The Foundation
I&#x27;d love to know how many people are responsible for devops&#x2F;operations&#x2F;app at various stages of any company&#x27;s journey.  Wikipedia says Uber employs 6,500 people so if even 15% of that is on the tech side of the business that&#x27;s still 1,000+ people allocated to tech. I think this metric would be a useful reality check for a &quot;modern&quot; SaaS project with 3-10 people that&#x27;s trying to emulate a backend structure similar to the big league.<p>There are 20+ complex tools listed in the stack, and to run a high-visibility production system would require high level of expertise with most of them. Docker, Cassandra, React, ELK, WebGL are not related in required skills&#x2F;knowledge at all (as, for example, Go and C are). Is it 5 bright guys and girls managing everything, like the React time within Facebook? Or a team dedicated just to log analytics?
