Uber Microservices were such an inefficient PITA. There was buzzword soup of a bunch of half baked infra pieces and they were always migrating. Every part of the stack was rotten. Udeploy, xterra, tchannel, schemaless, etc etc.

My peak “wtf” moment was when we had a SEV because two services that should communicate actually used different versions of thrift, both hard forked by Uber, with different implementations for sets. Passing a set from one service to another caused everything to break.
