When starting a new project, use the technologies listed on this page. In cases where your project might require something not listed here, file an issue to begin a discussion on the topic.
Where possible, we develop apps for deployment on Heroku. Static sites will be hosted on S3 and served through CloudFront.
- Django 2.2 LTS (Python 3.x)
- NodeJS LTS (JavaScript)
Try to use Docker, pip-tools, and Invoke when setting up a new Python codebase: it helps standardise dev environments across projects.
In most cases, if it's a Heroku Add-on and your app needs it, we can probably use it, but file an issue just to make sure.
There are a few exceptions:
- Logging - We have a separate account we can use for log aggregation and monitoring with Scalyr.
- Pingdom - We have a pingdom account.
- VictorOps - We use VictorOps to manage on-call alerts for applications.
If the app requires any of the above three services, file an issue to get it set up!
Our CI of choice is Travis CI.
