Uber Expands Partnership with Google to Modernize Data Cloud Infrastructure

Google and Uber today announced an expanded partnership in which Uber has selected Google to support the modernization of its data cloud infrastructure and reimagine the customer experience for Uber users, drivers, and merchants.

Both pioneers in their industries, Google and Uber share a dedication to providing cutting-edge technology and user experiences to their customers. Under the partnership, Uber will migrate some of the company’s most critical infrastructure to Google Cloud and will be able to take advantage of additional Google capabilities, including Ads and Google Maps Platform, to modernize its architecture and accelerate application development, and Cloud Spanner for rapid scalability. The companies also plan to deepen their engineering collaboration to deliver on new innovations.

“Our partnership with Google centers around a shared commitment to putting customer experience at the forefront of everything we do,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber. “It is our job to continually improve and reimagine the types of experiences we’re providing through the Uber platform, exceeding expectations every time someone opens the app to go somewhere or get something delivered. We’re excited to deepen our work with Google to deliver new innovations that push the boundaries of what’s possible for transportation, delivery and more.”
