About the team
Tech stack:
- We use Scala as our main back-end language and use CDK with Typescript. They are both easy to learn and use!
- We use Big Data technologies like Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) to build a platform capable of scaling with the ever-increasing volume of AWS customers’ usage data.
- We try to build everything in Native AWS, such as Lambda, EC2, Fargate, S3, Athena, and Step Functions.
