Development ยท Stack

Technologies & languages
we work with

We choose tooling based on what the product needs, not a single house standard. Here are the languages, frameworks, databases, and platforms our team is proficient in.

All services

Addbox has delivered products across greenfield builds, legacy modernisation, mobile apps, and high-volume transactional platforms. The list below reflects the technologies we have worked with in production, not a marketing checklist.

If your stack is not listed, we can still help. We regularly extend existing codebases, integrate third-party systems, and recommend the right tools for new products. See our development service for how we deliver.

Languages

Python

Versatile language for web backends, data processing, automation, and AI integrations. We use it for APIs, scripts, and scalable server-side logic.

Ruby

Expressive language well suited to web products and rapid iteration. Strong fit for bespoke applications and mature SaaS codebases.

JavaScript

Core language of the modern web, running in browsers and on servers. Essential for interactive front ends and full-stack delivery.

TypeScript

Typed superset of JavaScript that improves maintainability in larger applications. Our go-to for robust React and Node.js projects.

PHP

Widely deployed server-side language powering many CMS and e-commerce platforms. We work with it on Laravel builds and legacy systems.

C

Low-level systems language for performance-critical components, embedded work, and interfacing with native libraries.

C++

Extension of C for high-performance applications, native modules, and systems where speed and fine-grained control matter.

Go

Compiled language built for concurrent, cloud-native services. Useful for fast APIs, microservices, and infrastructure tooling.

Java

Enterprise-grade language for large backends, Android, and long-lived platforms with strict reliability requirements.

Swift

Apple's language for iOS and macOS apps. We use it for native mobile products that need tight platform integration.

Kotlin

Modern JVM language popular for Android and backend services, often chosen for safer, more concise code than Java.

SQL

Standard language for querying and managing relational data. Foundation of reporting, analytics, and structured application data.

Frameworks & libraries

React

Component-based library for building fast, interactive user interfaces. Our primary choice for modern web apps, dashboards, and customer portals.

React Native

Cross-platform framework for iOS and Android from a shared JavaScript codebase. Speeds up mobile delivery without sacrificing native feel.

Next.js

React framework with server rendering, routing, and performance optimisations built in. Strong for SEO-sensitive web products.

Vue.js

Progressive JavaScript framework for approachable, maintainable front ends. A practical option for admin panels and internal tools.

Laravel

PHP framework with expressive syntax and a strong ecosystem. Ideal for custom web apps, APIs, and business platforms.

Django

Python web framework with batteries included: ORM, admin, auth, and security defaults. Suited to data-led products and content systems.

Ruby on Rails

Convention-driven Ruby framework that accelerates product development. Proven for SaaS, marketplaces, and internal tools.

Node.js

JavaScript runtime for scalable server-side and real-time applications. Common choice for APIs, websockets, and microservices.

Flutter

Google's UI toolkit for natively compiled mobile, web, and desktop from one codebase. Useful for polished cross-platform apps.

CMS & platforms

Drupal

Enterprise open-source CMS for complex, multi-site, and permission-heavy content platforms. We work with it on large content estates.

WordPress

The world's most widely used CMS. We support custom themes, plugins, and migrations when WordPress is the right fit for the project.

Databases & data stores

MySQL

Popular open-source relational database for web applications. Reliable choice for transactional workloads and LAMP-style stacks.

PostgreSQL

Advanced open-source relational database with strong integrity, JSON support, and extensions. Our preference for complex data models.

MongoDB

Document-oriented NoSQL database for flexible schemas and fast iteration. Fits products with evolving or nested data structures.

NoSQL

Non-relational data stores for scale, flexibility, and specialised workloads. We select the right model when rigid schemas would slow delivery.

Redis

In-memory data store used for caching, sessions, queues, and real-time features. Critical for performance at scale.

Elasticsearch

Search and analytics engine for full-text search, log analysis, and fast filtering across large datasets.

Cloud & DevOps

AWS

Amazon's cloud platform. We design and deploy on EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, and related services for scalable production workloads.

Google Cloud

GCP services including Compute, Cloud Run, Firebase, and BigQuery. Common in our data and AI-led projects.

Azure

Microsoft's cloud for enterprise integrations, .NET estates, and hybrid deployments.

Docker

Container platform for consistent development and deployment environments across teams and servers.

Kubernetes

Orchestration for running containerised applications at scale with resilience and automated rollouts.

Firebase

Google's app platform for auth, hosting, realtime data, and serverless functions on fast-moving products.

APIs & front end

GraphQL

Query language for APIs that lets clients request exactly the data they need. Reduces over-fetching in complex front ends.

REST APIs

Standard architectural style for web services. How most of our integrations, mobile apps, and third-party connections are built.

HTML & CSS

Foundations of the web. Semantic markup and maintainable styles underpin every interface we ship.

Tailwind CSS

Utility-first CSS framework for rapid, consistent UI development without fighting bespoke stylesheets.
