Technologies

• We primarily use Jvm based languages (Java/Kotlin) but we also have parts of the platform that use other languages as needed.
• We look to use Open source when it makes sense and build ourselves when it doesn\u2019t.
• We are entirely cloud native and want to build a truly multi-cloud solution.
• We look at each problem independently and pick the right technology to solve it.
• We aren’t afraid to try new things but we always remember that we are looking to build something to last, and we focus on solving real world problems for real life customers.
