Technologies we use

Skroutz is powered by a complex Ruby on Rails application interacting with multiple auxiliary services. Much like our product, our infrastructure stack is under constant development and currently undergoing a full modernization and migration to the Cloud (AWS).

Our infrastructure is primarily composed of the following core products and technologies:

• A wide variety of AWS services (EKS, ECS, EC2, RDS, Lambdas).
• Cloudflare as the CDN solution of our choice; also helps us with WAF, DNS, ZeroTrust, and Video Streaming.
• Several FLOSS components for our on-premises infrastructure (Debian, HAProxy, Varnish, Nginx, Docker).
• Various database technologies including MariaDB, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, and Redis
• Apache Kafka as our core data pipeline and Resque for application async job processing
• Github for our main development platform and Github Workflows for managing our CI/CD pipelines.
• Prometheus, Grafana,  ELK, Cloudwatch and Datadog for observability.
• Several in-house services written mainly in Ruby, Python and Go.
