A little while ago I looked at micro services and the Uber story stuck in my mind (April 2016 numbers): - 2000 engineers - 1000 services - 8000 git repositories I can understand fast growth but on the services and git repository side considering that most of the engineers are new it struck me not as fast but more as out of control growth. At the beginning you may not control so much but you hire people that are disciplined. Later one needs a certain amount of structure. The stories from the legal front, financial front and handling of public relations are very consistent with what I observed on the technical side.
