Our Technology Stack

Front End: Our customers use a React/Node/Typescript web application hosted on Cloudflare. We use Material-UI as our front-end component library. Other front-end technologies include: Vite, PWA, ApexCharts, Axios, IndexedDB, WebBluetooth, WebSerial, and Yup.

Back End: Our back end systems handle ingesting our device and customer data as well as serving this data to the front end. Our RESTful API server is built with Mongoose/Express/Node and hosted on Heroku, our database is MongoDB hosted on Mongo Atlas. We handle user auth through Google Firebase. Other back-end technologies include: Pulse-cron, Cloudflare Workers, Mutler, Webhooks, and GridFS.

Project Management, CI, and Communication Tools: We use Slack for communication, Shortcut for project management and tracking, and the use of google docs and Figma for design and requirements capturing. We use Github and Github Actions, so communication also happens through pull requests and comments.

Hardware/Firmware: As part of our service to customers, we have a few hardware components for running hearing tests and monitoring sound levels. We engineered the PCBs and firmware ourselves. The firmware is written in C/C++ and heavily leverages the Arduino Wiring library.
