We don’t use a single framework, we use them all. Our libraries work on top of Angular, Vue.js, React but also plain JavaScript (“Vanilla JS”). We write specs for every feature we release. Our code is in TypeScript, fully open source and tested.
We don’t do only frontend, we do it all. Our platform API run on Go, on top of a K8s cluster managed by the team.
