Fifteen million people take Uber rides every day, and they generate a lot of data.

In fact, two years ago Uber began building its own mapping tool to process all of it. Called Kepler.gl, the software maps location data and runs entirely in your web browser, processing up to a million data points to create beautiful map-based visualizations. Uber recently made Kepler.gl open source and available to the public, and now other companies–like Mapbox, Airbnb, Alphabet's Sidewalk Labs, and scooter company Limebike–are all using it to work with their own data.

It's no wonder: Typical data visualization mapping tools require a lot of know-how or long tutorials. But Kepler.gl's interface is designed to be easy to use for anyone, even people without experience in cartography or data management. All you have to do is upload a CSV or GeoJSON file and it creates a map for you, no coding necessary.
