We’re building our own Design System and UI Kit from scratch. We ❤️ Open Source projects and have released several JavaScript libraries. We use many industry-leading tools such as Prettier, ESlint, Mirage, Percy, Storybook, Lokalize, Sentry... and we maintain a state-of-the-art container-based CI/CD.

Our backend is running on Golang and Ruby, and we use Kotlin and Swift for our Mobile applications. Our platform runs on a Kubernetes cluster hosted on AWS, with PostgreSQL as our database of choice, using Kafka for our event-driven architecture and ELK for logging and auditing, among many other tools, services, and applications.
