Topic 2: Next Uber/Taxi Paradigm
Introduction
Information system refers to incorporated set of components that involves gathering,
storage as well as processing of data for rendering knowledge, digital products and information.
Organisation depends upon information systems for carrying out as well as management of their
operations, interacting with stakeholders and compete within the market (Brandner and
Weinreich, 2019). For this, they make use of different paradigms that enables them to sustain
within the disruptive market. To understand this concept, rideshare industry is taken into
consideration, that matches up with the passengers with vehicle by the usage of mobile apps and
website. In this report, next paradigms of ridesharing company will be illustrated.
Influence of rideshare technologies on Taxi industry
The impact has been created on taxis due to ridesahre firms and for its minimisation The
New York Council has taken actions on February, 2020. It is recommended that taxis must opt
for surge pricing so that they can compete with firms like Uber and Lyft as various drivers have
faced huge financial debts due to the fall of industry. For dealing these losses the Taxi sector
have developed their application named “Curb Smartphone” that is identical to app of Lyft but it
enables clients to make payments in cash.
Different Architectural software
Firms such as Uber, Amazon and Lyft have deployed monolithic software architectural
structure to microservices by implementation of service mesh within their applications.
Microservice architecture denotes distinctive method that is used for developing software in
which emphasis is laid on building up single function module within the well-defined operations
and interfaces (Hein and et. al., 2019). When any kind of alterations are needed within any
section of the application then only that aspect will be modified as well as redeployed instead of
making modifications and redeployment of complete application. The microservice architecture
denotes an approach for developing large enterprise applications that comprises of different
small units referred to as service. Here, each service will be developed, deployed and tested
individually. Each service will have shared storage system or a database and they can be further
distributed into smaller chunks. Monolithic architecture implies unified traditional model that
is utilised for software designing in which all the aspects are composed in single piece. It
