Our Stack

Our platform is built in Go (for backend services) and React with Typescript (for the Synctera Console, our frontend). We're built on top of Google Cloud Platform and typically use Postgres (Cloud SQL, AlloyDB), Redis (Cloud Memorystore), and Pub / Sub as our core application stack, with OpenAPI specifications being used to both document our API and be the foundation for inter-service communication.

Our infrastructure is predominantly a mixture of Kubernetes (Google Kubernetes Engine) and Cloud Run (Google's serverless compute platform), with Terraform orchestrating infrastructure, and tools like Argo facilitating deployments.
