You and our future-proof stack

• We seek a balance between sticking with what works and fearlessly exploring the new.
• We use the latest stable version of PHP 7|8 because it allows us to write better code using features like strict type declarations, typed class properties and arrow functions.
• We leverage the elegance, simplicity and readability of the latest Laravel version.
• We want to spend our precious time on things that matter the most; that's why we perfect our easy to run the development environment with Homestead and custom scripts.
• We write and run tests with PHPUnit and http://cypress.io/">JavaScript End to End Testing Framework.
• We have a great set of tools to maintain the code quality and run on CI/CD (psalm (error level 4), rector, phpcs, php-cs-fixer, phpcpd etc.)
• We use Rector to maintain our code quality.
• We’re constantly refactoring our front-end code intending to reach front-end heaven:
• Laravel Blade template engine.
• PostCSS to maximize the power of modern CSS.
• Webpack for perfect control over front-end assets.
• Latest JS with support for ES2020 features. To accomplish this we use the latest Babel releases.

We ❤ CI (Continuous Integration) and CD (Continuous Delivery) so we usually deploy a few releases per day: Zero downtime. Just a few buttons to push. No sweaty palms.

We care deeply about the Developer Experience (DX) of our codebase and tools. DX and DevOps is our middle name: Git, GitHub, HTTP/2, Assets CDN, AWS, Enterprise SSDs on our high-spec servers, and much more.
