Our main challenge is to build a sophisticated and robust webapp that operates thousands of realtime-updated controls.
The project is fresh and has been actively developed from scratch for the last 1.5 years. App abstraction level allows to purely separate development tasks between BE/FE and you are not obliged to do any frontend stuff At the backend we have no storage, caches and related functionality, it is mostly REST magic logic and high-performance operation over WebSockets.
Our near future is to simplify customization of app components by transforming the architecture to an extendable framework. That allows to hand over all routine customizing work to other teams and let us concentrate on core functionality.
The application is quite innovative in technologies:
Our tools are: IDEA, TeamCity, Jira, Bitbucket, Slack.
We have: 3 backenders and 1 frontend teamlead, 2 analytics, 2 testers and PM.
