Which FAANG is rewriting to another hip language and chasing trends (especially when it comes to infra services??)? I don't mean to be rude, but it doesn't sound like you are talking about any of the FAANGs, this sounds completely made up.

FAANG is an acronym for Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, Google. Uber isn't in the same ballpark as those companies (arguably Netflix isn't really in the same ballpark as the other four either...).
