Cleo is built as a Ruby on Rails monolith with a single React Native app frontend utilising TypeScript. We also leverage Python for machine learning services and PostgreSQL for our database all hosted on AWS. Our CI/CD pipeline is fully automated with production deployments happening on every merge via Heroku. Our backend engineers deploy multiple times a week and we release our frontend app to Google and Apple for review at least once a week.

While we take a pragmatic approach we place a strong emphasis on quality. Our code is peerreviewed and we maintain automated testing using Minitest and CircleCI. Were also actively working towards a more modular architecture focusing on separating concerns to achieve all the benefits of microservices within a monolith while progressively refactoring our code as we build new features.
