STACK

Mindhive uses a reasonably standard Model-View-Controller architecture based on Postgres-Django-Python in the back end and Vue.js in the front end. Application infrastructure is hosted on AWS, and Cloudflare protects from DDoS attacks.

Mindhive is currently engaged in several initiatives:

Transitioning our AWS environment to “infrastructure as code” based on Terraform. We are taking advantage of this transition to introduce improvements - e.g., streamline updates, agility to plug in AWS smarts, etc.

We are working towards ISO 27001 compliance. This exercise has prompted sustainability initiatives, including the one above.

Code is in BitBucket with CI/CD pipelines. When our “infrastructure as code” initiative is complete, the entire Mindhive stack should be able to be recreated at the push of a button.

Also, the application Yeah-Nah is coded in Flutter and AWS-Amplify, providing a segue-way for the organisation to move into smartphone apps.

Python developers write test cases into the Python code.

We currently use Kubernetes. However, this has proven a little complex for a small team to manage so the new Terraform-based environment won’t be using it.

Serverless: We already have our toe in the water here (AWS Amplify, two helper functions to do with scanning downloads for malware) and anticipate moving further in that direction when appropriate.

Development environment on developer’s workstations (using Docker). Staging and Production on AWS.

Use Datadog and Sentry for logging and monitoring.

User authentication against Auth0.

Frontend increasingly uses APIs to communicate with the backend.

Emphasising the use of loose coupling, increasing agility.
