WE ARE

SoftServe has established a trustworthy relationship with the customer operating in 13 countries with over 50,000 riders who deliver orders from 50,000 restaurants in over 200 cities worldwide. They want to be the definitive food company – the app you go to any time you have a hunger pang. Their operation is one of the most complex three sided marketplaces in the world and done in real-time. Millions of customers and thousands of restaurants and riders rely on us to have a match within milliseconds. The algorithms behind that marketplace are the secret sauce that allow us to deliver our orders in under 30 minutes.

Currently, services have to process data for all our global markets and there is a limit to how much they can be scaled. We are aiming at dividing our markets across five different shards. As well as breaking down single DB into the geographicaly distributed shards will allow distributing order volume as much as possible (GeoSharding).

Our goal is to migrate ETL pipelines, data processes, reports, queries and standalone processes to use a new DRN format instead of the current identifiers.
