FAQ

What is Tyba's technical stack?

Our web app is built in Clojure (script) and Python. It uses the Fulcro library for managing client-server interactions. Tailwind CSS is used for styling, and Datomic and PostgreSQL for its data storage. The app is built using Docker and deployed via Kubernetes on AWS. The web app communicates with other internal codebases via GraphQL.

Our asset models and ML models are written in Python. We also expose a public REST API and python client.

How does this apply to you as a Software Engineer, Product? You’ll spend most of your time writing Clojure(script) and doing full-stack web development. Occasionally, you’ll need to expose new battery features to our customers. For this, you’ll likely work on one of two Python-based API layers (FastAPI and GraphQL) that our team is responsible for managing.
