From garage project to the No. 1 Taxi App in Europe
summary
Started in a living room and grown to more than 400 employees with over 100 developers, the product handles more than a million network requests every minute and becomes Europe’s No. 1 e‑hailing app. Backend runs in Docker on AWS ECS, the codebase is JVM‑based (Spring Boot, Java, increasing Kotlin), and the architecture moves from a monolith to ~180 microservices with one‑click canary deployments via Bamboo plugins; logging and dashboards use ELK (Logstash → Elasticsearch → Kibana) and on‑call paging, which together enable rapid rollout and monitoring at scale.
