Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive framework for event-driven architectural patterns that enable global ride-sharing platforms to operate at scale across distributed cloud environments. Loose coupling between services, asynchronous communication, and regional event propagation strategies contribute to systems capable of handling continuous streams of ride requests, driver location updates, and payment transactions. The proposed classification system for events by criticality and regional affinity enables intelligent routing and processing decisions. Properly implemented event-driven architectures significantly enhance system scalability during demand surges while maintaining operational resilience through service isolation and regional redundancy. A detailed case study of a production ride-sharing platform identifies key implementation challenges including eventual consistency management, regional data sovereignty, and observability in distributed environments. The work provides both theoretical foundations and practical guidance for engineers designing next-generation transportation systems and other high-volume, geographically distributed applications requiring real-time event coordination.
