A look at our architecture decisions and lessons learned while building the platform that powers global talent operations.
01.Building for Scale
When we started building UpTye's platform, we knew we needed something that could handle growth efficiently. We opted for Node.js with TypeScript for our backend, combined with PostgreSQL. Redis handles our caching layer and real-time features.
02.API Design Principles
We follow RESTful conventions with pragmatic exceptions. Every endpoint is versioned from day one. We use OpenAPI specifications to generate documentation and validation logic.
03.Observability First
We instrumented everything from day one. Every API call generates structured logs, metrics, and traces. If you're building a platform that teams will depend on, observability isn't optional.
