This was the time when Uber realised they needed to revamp this system with a better alternative, and they built RAMEN (Realtime Asynchronous MEssaging Network). Instead of the app requesting a new location, Uber used a push-based mechanism. Now the Uber backend decides when a new location update is to be sent to the app.

Love a good technical deep dive. This one on how polling evolved to a push system at UBER
