What Is Uber Open Source?

Updated

Uber Open Source (uber.github.io) is Uber's public site for showcasing the open-source projects and engineering work it releases. It is maintained by Uber and hosted on the uber.github.io domain. The site is built as a JavaScript application, so you need JavaScript enabled in your browser to view it; without JavaScript, the page will not render its content.

What the site is for

The site serves as a central place where Uber collects and presents the open-source software and engineering content it makes available to the public. Rather than being a single product, it functions as a catalog or front door: visitors use it to discover what Uber has open-sourced and to find the individual project pages.

What to expect when you visit

  • JavaScript is required. The page is a client-side app; if scripts are blocked, you will see only a notice asking you to enable JavaScript.
  • Content is organized around projects. The site is a directory of Uber's open-source work, so the useful information lives in the individual project listings rather than on a single landing page.
  • Details vary by project. Because the site aggregates many separate projects, specifics such as licenses, documentation, and repository links are found on each project's own page.

How to use it

  1. Open uber.github.io in a browser with JavaScript enabled.
  2. Browse or search the listed projects to find the one relevant to your task.
  3. Follow the link from each listing to that project's repository or documentation for installation, usage, and license details.

Limitations to keep in mind

The available page information is minimal—it confirms the site's identity and its JavaScript requirement but does not enumerate the projects or their details. For an actual project list, supported platforms, or licensing terms, check the site directly and review each project's own documentation.
