I worked at Uber for a few years.

This was a terrible layer. Everyone hated it when I was there. People ended up building logic directly into the API gateway because it was so difficult to use.

I am so glad to never have to look at RTAPI again.

This article is about the newer Edge Gateway and doesn't mention anything about RTAPI. When did you leave Uber?
RTAPI is the internal name. Why would it be mentioned here?

I left too late. The engineering in that company was abysmal.

RTAPI is mentioned in the previous blog post [1], it sounds like the new edge gateway supercedes it

Nice find. I stand corrected.
