HOW UBER BUILT A SOFTWARE FACTORY FOR AGENTIC CODING: THE MCP GATEWAY AND THE PLATFORM UNDERNEATH

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

More than 70% of pull requests at Uber are now written by AI agents. Code shipped per engineer has doubled in a year. This was enabled through a software factory that runs on a platform that Uber built. The platform gives agents the pieces they need to work safely across thousands of engineers. This post looks at how the factory was built. It covers what MCP gateways are and why they are needed for agentic coding at scale, workflows, and more.
