Building Blocks for Uber’s Software Factory— Uday Kiran Medisetty & Adam Huda, Uber

Uber's Uday Kiran Medisetty and Adam Huda explain the six building blocks of their agentic software factory, which now generates more than 70% of pull requests and has doubled lines of code per engineer year over year. A model gateway handles 100 million requests a day across 800 projects with redaction of 20+ PII types and safety models under 100 milliseconds; an MCP gateway cuts token use over 40%, a skills marketplace runs 20,000 executions daily across 2,500 skills, and a context graph of 40 million entries replaces 20-30 systems. Adam shows one feature end-to-end, from Slack idea to draft PR that stops before CI, validating via simulator screenshots against Figma in an inner loop. The bottleneck, they argue, has moved to deciding whether a thing should be built at all.
