Our Stack

Across the layers of our stack we write code in Go, TypeScript, Python, and C/C . We build on battle-tested frameworks and technologies including Django, MySQL, Redis, Celery, Web Components, React, Kafka, and Spanner. We place a lot of value on automation and good operational hygiene, relying on best-in-class tooling like Kubernetes (on Google Kubernetes Engine), GitHub Actions, and Argo/ArgoCD to let our developers focus on building, not firefighting.
