We use Git for source control, Jenkins for continuous integration, Jetbrains IntelliJ IDE with GitHub Copilot license, Grafana + Prometheus for metrics collection, Docker for containerisation, Slack for internal communication, and much of the Confluence stack including Jira to run our Scrum sprints.
