expertReal System Design Problems
Design Uber's Surge Pricing System — real-time demand sensing and price computation.
The real-time-demand-sensing-and-pricing problem: how supply and demand are measured in real time across many geographic zones, how prices are computed and pushed to users within seconds of a demand shift, and — the hardest part — how the system avoids a feedback loop where a price change itself causes a demand change that triggers yet another price change.
