Our Stack
Our main application stack is Ruby on Rails as our framework of choice - with Javascript (ES6) and React/Redux for the frontend. We heavily use MariaDB, Elasticsearch, Kafka, MongoDB and Redis.
Our AI stack is built on LangChain and LangGraph for orchestrating LLM workflows and multi-agent systems, with PostgreSQL for state persistence and Elasticsearch for semantic search. We integrate with cloud LLM providers like OpenAI. For observability and monitoring, we use Langfuse for LLM tracing, along with tools like Sentry, NewRelic, and Grafana.
Generally we try to pick the best tool we know or we can find that serves our needs. You can read more about what we have worked on our Engineering blog.
