About the project:
The code base is about 4 years old. There are about 3000 active users in the system today, but is expected to increase manyfold over the coming years.
 
From a development standpoint we are going for a Microservice oriented approach to build resilient well encapsulated services which are solving a common problem in the HR Area.
The API uses GraphQL with Apollo Gateway which is exposing the API endpoints.
Some of these microservices are using Typescript and some are still in Javascript. Our goal is to convert all services into Typescript.
Database is MySQL.
For Authentication, we use Auth0 as the Idp.
Access control is an important feature here and thus we need to have this handled across our systems.
Other tools we use are Atlassian Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket for code versioning and deployments.
And the services are running on Kubernetes.
