Keynote: Cloud Native at India Scale, How Rapido Scaled to 4+ Million Rides - Srivatsa Katta, CTO & Adarsh K Kumar, Principal Product Engineer, Rapido

India moves on Rapido. The country's largest taxi platform serves over 4 million rides daily, matching riders to drivers in real time across 150+ microservices at 200K requests per second.

None of this would exist without the CNCF ecosystem. In this keynote, we walk through how Kubernetes, Istio, Prometheus, Thanos, Cert Manager, and External DNS work together to power a platform where every second of latency means a rider waiting in the heat.

This is the story of what cloud native makes possible when the stakes involve millions of livelihoods, not just uptime metrics.
