Our Technology:
Services are authored as K8s-based microservices powered by Python FastAPI backends and Typescript React front-end code
Apps are built upon Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Elasticsearch, and Snowflake
Our infrastructure runs on AWS and leverages hosted infrastructure technologies such as EKS, MSK, Elasticache, and RDS. We use Istio for service mesh, Helm, TF and Crossplane for IAC, and Kyverno for policy-as-code enforcement
Vulnerabilities are managed through in-house, AI-native custom tooling that you’ll contribute to. We orchestrate open-source tools through this custom platform
