More About Technology
The code we write is largely based on Javascript, although we aren’t afraid to explore new and emerging technologies and tools if they are right for us.

We’ve not yet decided whether to go pure native build or React Native. No need to rush into decisions!
All our clients sit on GraphQL to provide a clean abstraction from all the underlying headless services, some we’ll buy off the shelf and others we’ll be building ourselves. Again, we haven’t decided what tech to use for this yet, one step at a time. We host the majority of our world on AW
