Tech Stack:

Our tech stack is 100% TypeScript, allowing the team to implement end-to-end functionality. On the front end we’re using NextJS for our Web App and React Native for our Mobile App. Our API is provided over a GraphQL interface and interfaces with a PostgreSQL database via Prisma.

Our infrastructure stack is currently utilizing Github Actions, Google Cloud Run, Redis and Postgres. In this infrastructure transformation we are migrating our systems to infrastructure as code using Pulumi, refactoring our monorepo build systems to utilize esbuild and nx.dev, improving our Github Actions pipeline performance, shifting our deployment to Kubernetes on GKE, standing up NATS.io for cloud / edge messaging, and implementing in depth monitoring and metrics through DataDog. After this initial transformation is complete we will continue to iterate by deploying custom hardware at the edge at each of our properties and connecting that into our cloud network.
