🔧 Technology Stack

Our backend services are built using a robust and scalable technology stack:

• Framework: Frappe Framework
• Language: Python (version 3.10 or higher)
• Database: MariaDB
• Cache: Redis (used for session storage and caching)
• Queue System: Background workers using Redis Queue (RQ)

🛠 Development Tools

We use modern tools to ensure efficiency, collaboration, and maintainability.

🔹 Version Control

• Git & GitHub: All development work is managed through GitHub repositories.
• Branching Strategy: Follow the Git flow approach:
  • main - Production-ready code
  • develop - Ongoing development
  • Feature branches for new features
  • Hotfix branches for critical bug fixes

🔹 Project Management

• ZenHub: Integrated with GitHub for issue tracking, sprint planning, and project workflows.
• Kanban Boards: Used for tracking issues, features, and bugs.

🔹 Continuous Integration & Deployment (CI/CD)

• GitHub Actions is used for automated workflows:
  • ✅ Automated testing on pull requests before merging
  • 🚀 Automated deployments to staging and production environments
  • 🔄 Build status checks to ensure code stability

🔹 Code Quality & Review Process

• Code Reviews: All pull requests must go through peer reviews before merging.
• Required Checks Before Merging:
  • ✅ Linting (ensures consistent code formatting)
  • ✅ Unit & Integration Tests (to catch potential bugs)
  • ✅ Security & Dependency Scans
