OUR TECH STACK

We use a diverse tech stack to develop our microservice product solution. In the backend, C++ is still our main language, but we are slowly transitioning to include multiple different languages depending on the specific needs. The set includes Java- & TypeScript as well as Golang, Python and Rust. In the frontend, we use Vue.js for our configuration and insights UIs and Rust with WASM if we require more performance. For managing the deployment of our distributed system as well as aiding our development needs, we make use of a dockerized workflow.
