We Build Scalable Infrastructure
We’ve built our architecture in the cloud (AWS & DigitalOcean).
From Amazon AWS we integrated a bunch of services such as EC2 instances, RDS MySQL, ElastiCache, Load balancers, Elastic Beanstalk, SQS messaging, CloudFront, S3, Route 53 and auto-scaling.
We use Node.js & NoSQL databases (Redis, MongoDB).
We built our own PaaS using Deis.
