What is this?

This is a visual representation of our tools and technology stack (or stacks, to be precise). It takes into account their frequency of use among many projects that are currently developed and maintained by us. Since it constantly changes (some technologies do stand the test of time, some don't) you can see the current and last year position of each technology, technique or programming language we use.

Slack

Slack entered our office late in 2015. Currently we'd have a hard time trying to survive a week without it.

Jira

We started to use Jira and it became our main project management tool almost immediately.

Ansible

Quite some time ago we stopped setting up servers by hand. All test and production instances are provisioned by tools and scripting. Ansible made our lives much easier in that department.

Grafana

Grafana serves very fancy charts produced by processing huge amount of internal data. Clients love them!

Git

Over 600 projects are stored in our Git repositories. One day we resigned from TFS and moved towards Git. We never looked back.

Vagrant

Our programmers use Vagrant for rapid provisioning, testing and even creating dev machines.

Capistrano

All of our deployments are automatic and scripted. Some of them use Capistrano.

Graylog

We need to search through huge amount of logs and sometimes plain text files are not enough.

Chef

One of our configuration management tools. Although it is not so easy to learn and even harder to master, it does the job pretty well.

Powershell

At ANIXE we script and automate anything that can be automated. Powershell works well for us in Windows environment.

Redmine

We are replacing Redmine by Jira but it is still used for several projects.

Elastic

Mongo 3

We process huge amount of complex documents. MongoDB seems to be perfect for this job.

TeamCity

Memcached

Performance is a top priority of our core solutions. We use Memcached extensively.

Redis

It is exetensively used in many of our projects. Payment servers, queue systems, small and simple storage...

MSSQL

Although SQL Server is not used for many of our products, it serves well where needed.

PostgreSQL

Although SQL Server is not used for many of our products, it serves well where needed.

Terraform

Logstash

Kibana

Rabbit MQ

Kafka

Continuous Integration

We use Continuous Integration for our projects. Since Gitlab offers integrated solution for CI we tend to use it more. This brings all sorts of benefits: from Slack notifications on failed builds to painless deplyoments.

Kanban

Agile offers variety of methodologies and frameworks. Kanban seems to work better for day to day tasks - just like the ones operations teams face for example.

Lean

At ANIXE we do not waste time and resources. We decide late, then deliver as soon as possible, as much as possible. Teams are empowered to make right decisions.

XP

Requirements can change but we are prepared for that. Programmers listen to customers, understand their problems and react accordingly. Frequent communication, simple solutions, pair programming. We do that on a daily basis.

SOA

Services, services everywhere!

Scrum

True to Agile manifesto, every team works toward their own implementation of scrum. Optimal solution for all stakeholders in each project is the goal. Not the scrum rituals for their own sake.
