How Uber improved load balancing with real-time dynamic subsetting for millions of containers.

Subsetting is a common technique used in load balancing for large-scale distributed systems. In this blog post, we will briefly introduce current Uber’s service mesh architecture that has been powering thousands of critical microservices in Uber since 2016. We will then discuss the challenges we faced when trying to scale the number of tasks in the mesh and issues with our initial subsetting approach. We’ll finish with how we came up with the real-time dynamic subsetting solution and its results in production.
