Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Enables Uber's Logistics Transformation and Cost Optimization

Uber, a global platform transforming how people, food, and goods move through cities, faced the challenge of maximizing innovation while managing infrastructure costs. The company's rapid expansion into ride-sharing, food delivery, and package logistics required a cloud infrastructure that could scale securely without proportional cost increases. Recognizing the need for a partner that balanced performance with economics, Uber selected Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for its security, performance, flexibility, and pricing model.

Uber migrated several of its most critical workloads to OCI to establish a foundation for continued growth across its platform. The migration strategy focused on reducing operational expenses while enabling the development of new consumer and earner experiences. A key initiative involves collaboration with Oracle to transform last-mile logistics in retail, creating a groundbreaking service that allows retailers to leverage on-demand delivery and returns to streamline operations and enhance customer satisfaction.

The partnership delivers measurable business value across multiple dimensions. By consolidating infrastructure on OCI, Uber reduced capital and operational costs while maintaining the performance standards required for its high-traffic platform. The company now has the infrastructure foundation to accelerate retail logistics innovation, enabling increased profitability in new business segments. Additionally, Oracle's platform provides the security and reliability necessary to support Uber's earner community and millions of daily consumer transactions globally.
