Technology

We make our technology choices in the interests of balancing time to market and long term maintainability.

Our choices for languages:

• Ruby for the server-side
• Javascript for the client-side
• Crystal for performance constained code
• Elixir for real-time centered applications

Our choices for frameworks:

• Rails for monolith ruby web applications
• Roda for ruby microservices
• Phoenix for elixir applications
• Docker for containerization
• Next.js for landing pages or a client to a web application

Our choices for services:

• Fathom for analytics
• Render for application hosting/deployment

We write software that uses but should not depend on a framework. Our goal is to separate framework code from core domain code as best we can so that teams can make their own technology decisions later.
