To build an application like Uber and submit it on Google Play and Apple App store is not an easy thing. However, Uber has successfully done it. Wondering how? Let’s dig in.

People who belong to San Francisco, especially in the tech community, are always enthusiastic about new tools. They approach and adapt everything to improve their quality of life. This is the reason; Uber was introduced in San Francisco. The community did word of mouth, and the early adopters took the blog and social media platforms to encourage others to try this cool application.

Even Uber approached go-to-market strategy to encourage new riders to try their service by offering g 50% discount on their first ride. It worked as Uber successfully transformed new riders into long-term customers. And if you are wondering that you would have developed an application similar to Uber and launched in focusing tech communities, sorry to say that, but it would most likely be overlooked. The grandeur success behind the Uber has a different story.

Uber Engineering

Uber was introduced with a mission to make transportation reliable and smoother as running water – for everyone and everywhere. To make it possible, Uber has worked with complex data, to facilitate drivers get along and assist riders to get around. The development team has very carefully engineered the complex uber system design to serve the massive amounts of traffic and handle difficult interactions.

Uber’s significant rising impact, goes hand in hand with some of the fastest growth in startup history.

Push Notifications and SMS Uber sends couple of notifications like, when the driver accepts ride request, when the driver is about to arrive and when the ride has been cancelled for the specific reason. Messages can be received as SMS or push notifications. For the iOS APP Messages are powered by the Twilio telecommunications provide. Uber is indeed required to implement push notifications using Apple’s “Push Notifications Service”. For the Android app Uber is using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM)
Payment integration Uber provides cashless system. Customer can use Debit card or credit card or use a promo code. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a must thing to comply with. Uber chose to partner with Braintree. Uber uses PayPal’s service for credit card scanning It lets you manually enter credit card data to link your card with Uber.
