How We Work:
Our team is currently divided into two feature teams and one virtual operations team consisting of Software and QA Engineers. We mainly cooperate online, but we also meet in our offices in Prague and Brno.

We are an agile team (Scrum, LeSS) working together on a shared product/platform (a single Product Backlog). Further cooperation is managed internally by the teams as needed.

Mission & Goals:

Our primary development language is C# (.NET Core and .NET Framework).
Data is stored in SQL databases (MS SQL, PostgreSQL), and views are replicated to distributed NoSQL databases(Cassandra). We also use Redis for caching.

Our microservice architecture provides RESTful APIs for clients and uses RabbitMQ for messaging.
