1. How to decide that user ID/lat/long is 8 bytes each? 38:29. user ID should be UUID which is 16 bytes. 2. Trips Service sends trip data to Payments Service. According to 1:02:07, seems you have it as normal request. Why not use Kafka, as payment doesn't need to be immediate, and allow Payments Service to process at its own pace? 3. You mentioned latest location should be stored in Redis and history in Cassandra at 40:19. Which datastore is used for the other data and why?

great stuff but 11:30 the payment service being eventually consistent example was really bad. it should be the opposite of what you said.

How is trip entity created? The API listed in trip service does not show the creation of trip, and all api depends on trip id. Also, how to handle the concurrency issue, where user request a car, and matched driver accept the pair, but user canceled the trip at the same time. How does the map is rendered? Uber uses H3 geo-encoding, what's the pros and cons among geohash, s2 and h3? What's the benefit of adopting consistent hashing in the location service, compared to a static sharding maintenance via a coordination service?

[@vyshnavramesh9305]

- Regarding trip entity creation, I think when the driver accepts a booking notification from cab finder service , a trip entity is created with status == CREATED. The status then changes to: STARTED upon driver receiving otp from rider, CANCELLED when rider cancels the CREATED trip, COMPLETED when destination reached. - The concurrency issue (race condition) is a good technical problem to be solved. Not just when a rider cancels the cab finder request and driver accepts at the same time, but also when multiple drivers accept the booking notification from cab finder service together the issue could happen. A distributed lock (using Zookeeper) on cabFindRequestId or riderId (since a rider can only book a single cab) should be good.
