Uber's Global Rate Limiter handles up to 80 million requests per second using probabilistic traffic shedding and a three-tier feedback loop, removing Redis dependencies to reduce latency. OpenAI's Access Engine replaces traditional rate limiting with a 'credit waterfall' mechanism that transitions users from conventional rate limits to a credit-based system, preserving continuity for creative workflows. Both platforms emphasize distributed enforcement, soft controls, and automated adaptive management at massive scale. ## Content Uber and OpenAI have each unveiled innovative infrastructure-level control platforms designed to enhance system performance and reliability under demanding conditions. Uber's Global Rate Limiter is built to handle an extraordinary 80 million requests per second using a technique called probabilistic traffic shedding. This sophisticated method is integrated with a three-tier feedback loop that significantly reduces latency by eliminating dependencies on Redis, offering a more efficient and responsive system. On a parallel front, OpenAI has introduced the Access Engine, which departs from traditional rate-limiting practices by implementing a 'credit waterfall' mechanism. This system is crafted to manage user access by transitioning seamlessly from conventional rate limits to a credit-based method. This approach is particularly beneficial in maintaining momentum for users engaged in creative workflows, ensuring that operations remain smooth and uninterrupted. Both platforms showcase a commitment to advanced, distributed enforcement and the use of soft controls, which are instrumental in ensuring overall system stability at a vast scale. These developments highlight a shift from manual intervention towards automated, adaptive systems capable of managing complex, high-volume infrastructures. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Uber’s Zero Growth Stack: Scaling Services, While Optimising Infrastructure and AI Cost](https://daily.dev/posts/uber-s-zero-growth-stack-scaling-services-while-optimising-infrastructure-and-ai-cost-vsvgejjg1) · InfoQ · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [From monolith to global mesh: How Uber standardized ML at scale](https://daily.dev/posts/from-monolith-to-global-mesh-how-uber-standardized-ml-at-scale-rfwf0zx0x) · The New Stack · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Uber de-risks hybrid AI with Cloud Interconnect](https://daily.dev/posts/uber-de-risks-hybrid-ai-with-cloud-interconnect-dirk4u8l8) · Google Cloud · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [How Uber Serves over 150 Million Reads per Second from Integrated Cache](https://daily.dev/posts/how-uber-serves-over-150-million-reads-per-second-from-integrated-cache-mjlsygxjr) · ByteByteGo · 217 upvotes · 5 comments --- Tags: [#infrastructure](https://daily.dev/tags/infrastructure), [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai), [#distributed-systems](https://daily.dev/tags/distributed-systems), [#uber](https://daily.dev/tags/uber) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/uber-and-openai-introduce-advanced-infrastructure-level-control-platforms-ovowp2onj) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Uber and OpenAI Introduce Advanced Infrastructure-Level Control Platforms","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/uber-and-openai-introduce-advanced-infrastructure-level-control-platforms-ovowp2onj","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/uber-and-openai-introduce-advanced-infrastructure-level-control-platforms-ovowp2onj"},"datePublished":"2026-02-23T04:50:30.123Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T04:50:46.935Z","description":"Uber and OpenAI have each launched infrastructure-level control platforms targeting high-scale system reliability.
