Technology Stack Guides

Mobile:

• Android and iOS for fully native experiences with top performance
• React Native for cost-effective hybrid cross-platform solutions that aren't performance sensitive

Backend:

• Golang for Ops and CLI tools, as well as network services and APIs
• Node.JS using established languages like CoffeeScript, ES6, or TypeScript for small IO-heavy services with little compute requirements and when using only one language for both frontend and backend has advantages.
• Scala for big code bases, complex business logic, large-scale data processing, or anything on top of the JVM/Apache ecosystem

Frontend:

• React for rich web UIs
• WebPack for compiling front-end assets

Devops:

• Ansible for configuration management
• Docker for packaging software into containers
• Packer for creating machine and container images
• Terraform for infrastructure-as-code

Others:

• Haskell
• LiveScript for internal projects based on Node.JS
• Python for machine learning
• Ruby on Rails for rapid prototyping and small to mid-sized monolithic projects without much traffic

Software Practices

• Story Writing
• Product Management Toolkit
• Feature Specs with Cucumber
