I don't know much of the contributions Uber has made but all I remember is they slammed Postgres as been a bad database because they were trying to open multiple multi hour transactions to do things which is just insane. And then tell us that 'microservices' don't work and they are gonna use this new fandangled 'macroservices' when it sounds like they just didn't make microservices to begin with.

The issue I have with this is people go and read these things and say "oh we shouldn't use postgres cos uber", "we shouldn't do microservices cos uber". There's never any preface to these statements on what they did wrong, they blame the tool or technology instead.
