I’m amazed how I’ve worked with all of the critical technologies in this article, I’ve dealt with the same or similar concerns, and yet the author or authors have written this engineering blog post in such a way as to not convey anything meaningful at all. One part of it is the constant talk of high level abstract infrastructural pieces, and the other is bad product or concept naming. Odin, “the controller,” the constant obsession with certain engineering orgs to use words like “plane,” and likewise, “fabric” was used at a previous org I worked for. I’m sure Uber is doing Real™ Work, but this kind of crap sets off all my wank and bullshit alarms. It’s just clients talking to servers talking to servers talking to proxies talking to servers talking to databases talking to replicas. Can you please stop with the false high engineering bullshit?
