Microservices
- Back-end: Laravel (4+ years), Node.js (2+ years), PHP.
- Docker (1+year) is required, experience with Kubernetes is a big plus.
- Version control: GIT.
- Our development teams uses Scrum and Jira and slack for communication.
Further details of the technical environment
The application runs in Laravel which by design is an MVC framework. Since the start of the product we built it in Laravel4 and upgraded to Laravel7. From the beginning of this year we decided to make a plan where we convert parts of the application to (micro)services for better testing. For microservices node.js is used, but Laravel will stay besides node.js. That is something that we are now starting up and therefore we search for the right developers to join the team.
Our hosting runs on Google cloud where the application is hosted in three regions (USA, EU, Australia). We work with a develop-master git workflow. Deploys are automated and we are adding (unit) tests frequently to make sure the most important parts of our code are tested. The team works in sprints of 2 weeks and uses SCRUM and has daily standups. Jira is the tool where the backlog is and all data related to that.
This all sounds nice but there are some things we need to improve. Since the start of the product we have had a number of developers (senior, junior, intern) to work on the codebase. As a result, some parts of the code is dated and needs to be refactored. For example our booking flow needs to be reworked so we can extend our platform services to new markets. Adding this kind of functionality now would cost a lot of work and hacking in the current code which we do not want.
