About our tech stack:

The platform API is built using the most recent version of .NET using serverless and managed infrastructure. It is designed using RESTful best practices and consumed directly by our customers, in addition to our user interfaces on the web or on Salesforce. Our user interfaces are completely stateless and do not have any server side processing. All of the functionality and business logic is made available through the same API that can also be directly consumed by our customers. The API is containerized and hosted in AWS using Fargate. Work is offloaded using a message queue to our worker cluster. We use Aurora as our structured data store.
