Alma has many teams across Finland, Sweden, Baltics and Eastern Central Europe developing over 100 digital services and marketplaces; This means we use a lot of different technologies as teams can choose the most suitable tools for their work.

When building user interfaces for web ReactJS is almost a de facto JavaScript UI library of choice and its React Native counterpart chosen for mobile applications. As programming languages go, TypeScript, Go and/or Java are most used ones (with some PHP and Ruby here and there) for web applications. Whereas Python dominates in context of data science & -engineering.

Applications are hosted in a cloud environment. We use AWS as our primary application cloud platform, which we have used already since 2012. Sometimes we do cherry-pick specific products – like Google BigQuery – from other cloud vendors. When designing cloud architecture, we heavily utilize serverless-first and event-driven patterns by utilizing tools like AWS Lambda and various managed/serverless products, but one can also find a lot of containers running in our cloud environment with products like AWS ECS/Fargate.

Teams in Alma have –“You build it, You run it”– DevOps culture where Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery plays an important role. Everything happens through version control systems and products like Github Actions or AWS CodePipeline build, test and finally deploy the applications. We can push to production multiple times a day.
