Our Technology

Our web application is a single-instance, multi-tenant Ruby on Rails monolith supported by Postgres (database), Redis (background jobs), and memcached (Rails caching). We also use a Node.js web server for collaborative editing and real-time updates. The application is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with ECS for reproducibility and scalability.

We use React for rich client-side experiences on the front end. Key features built with React include:

• Collaborative Text Editor: Supports multiple cursors and simultaneous editing by any number of users.
• Presentation Editor: Allows users to create presentations with live-updating Aha! reports.
• Gantt Chart: Features scaling, scrolling, drag-and-drop, and quick actions.
• We adopt new technologies that help us deliver a lovable product while being mindful of maintenance overhead. We focus on solving current problems rather than preemptively optimizing for potential future issues.
