Our tech stack
Let's get this out of the way: yes, we do have a legacy system to support. It is a 20-year-old monolith based on .NET Framework, WPF / WinForms, and MSSQL. Fortunately, we are actively migrating away from it towards a modern platform powered by AWS, ECS/Fargate, Terraform and Docker.

Our new services and backends are running on .NET Core, Node.js and Python, on top of the platform mentioned above. On the client-side we run on TypeScript and React with the help of Retool for rapid prototyping and internal CRUD applications.

We store data in various persistence technologies like MongoDB or AWS RDS, using REST APIs, GraphQL and RabbitMQ to enable loosely coupled communication between systems and components.

We empower our teams to experiment with new technologies, inspired by our internal Tech Radar, because we think that by using the right technology for the problem a great user experience for our customers can be achieved.
