BlaBlaCar is moving its infrastructure to be fully containerized using rkt and CoreOS. Key tools developed include dgr for building and running containers and ggn for managing services on fleet clusters. Service discovery is handled by go-nerve and go-synapse which monitor services in Zookeeper. The infrastructure aims for standardization, simplicity and removing unique configurations ("snowflakes"). Over 300 servers across multiple data centers are now managed this way.

- 1. Take a BlaBlaCar to the stars with rkt ! Simon Lallemand System Engineer @slallema
- 2. New infrastructure ecosystem Agenda Key principles 100% rkt powered carpooling Directions for driving change BlaBlaCar Facts, Figures & History
- 3. Founded in 2006 21 million mobile app downloaded (iPhone + Android) Facts and figures 12 million travelers per quarter 1 million tonnes less CO2 in the past year 40 million members Currently in 22 countries France, Spain, UK, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Germany, Belgium, India, Mexico, The Netherlands, Luxembourg, Portugal, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia, Brazil and Turkey.
