Kubernetes on Supporting 1 Million Bike-Taxi Drivers in Indonesia
summary
GO-JEK migrates from 10,000+ VMs to Kubernetes to serve 1M drivers and 100M monthly users, processing ~3M orders/day across ~400 microservices and claiming up to 60% infrastructure cost savings per country. Migration starts with Project X (VM/Container abstraction, later refactored to Kubernetes-only), uses kops/GKE/kubeadm, Helm, custom controllers, Consul service discovery, AWS ENI/Calico CNI for VM–pod networking, and a centralized pipeline burrito log (agent → Kafka → Elasticsearch → Kibana). Stateful plans use Stolon and containerized Postgres.
