We believe in decoupled micro-service and distributed systems. We strive to keep codebases small and manageable. We are interested in reactive design patterns that will make our systems more resilient and responsive yet remain elastic to change. As we proceed through our technology roadmap, we are evaluating new community endorsed technologies for every tier of our platform. Our backend tiers are JVM-based. We are using or considering technologies like Spring Boot 3, Angular,, Azure, REST, Chef, Terraform, Splunk and so on.
