TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Uber's AI platform has evolved from fragmented, ad-hoc machine learning workflows into a highly scalable, Kubernetes-native system capable of handling millions of predictions per second. The company built Michelangelo to standardize ML workflows, but eventually migrated to Kubernetes and Ray to overcome scalability limitations for deep learning and large language models. This industrialized approach now underpins critical services across Uber’s global operations.

Key facts

▪Uber runs over 1 million diverse workloads across 200 Kubernetes clusters and trains 20,000 models monthly.
▪Michelangelo, Uber’s internal ML platform, introduced a centralized feature store and standardized model deployment across offline, online, and library modes.
▪The shift from MADLJ to Kubernetes and Ray addressed resource fragmentation and improved scalability for GPU-intensive deep learning tasks.
