About the Technology

We are not shy to adopt bleeding edge technology:

• Our micro front-end architecture allows us to use multiple front-end frameworks (React, Vue, Angular 8+) across our digital landscape
• We use serverless technologies such as AWS API Gateway, and Lambda written in Node.JS and .NET
• Our applications are deployed in a distributed microservice architecture, allowing us to deploy, scale and test independently
• We use AWS SNS and SQS for communication in our microservice architecture ensuring our applications remain loosely coupled, resilient and performant
• We utilise cloud native storage technologies such as AWS Aurora, DynamoDB and S3 to provision performant and scalable storage for our applications
• We use infrastructure as code to provision our architecture, allowing us to deliver faster changes to environments
• We build API first and utilise Apigee to expose public APIs
