• Our web and backend technology platform is built in Ruby on Rails, and we also use a bunch of AWS services (via Terraform), Postgres, Docker, and a little bit of React.
• Our mobile platforms are hybrid solutions which use Turbolinks to support us in building native features.
• We have automated tests, continuous integration, and release to production regularly.
