💻Our Stack

We’re developing our Android application with the latest version of Kotlin, and we’re building our own Design System from scratch.

Our developments are based on SOLID principles and Clean Architecture, and we mostly work with the following librairies: AndroidX, Dagger, Retrofit, OkHttp, Coroutines, ViewModel... We use many industry-leading tools such as Sonarqube, Figma, Lokalize, Firebase... and we maintain a state-of-the-art container-based CI, based on Gitlab.

Our backend is running on Golang and Ruby, our Web Frontend with the latest version of EmberJS and we use Swift for our iOS application. 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.
