have REST APIs written in Go. We use PostgreSQL as our database. Our
servers run Linux on Google Cloud Platform.

We maintain high standards for
our development practices. All new code is expected to include automated
tests run by TeamCity, and all work goes through internal code review on
GitHub Enterprise.
