Tech @ Exotel
Exotel engineering solves some really cool infrastructure as well as application level problems with the goal of ensuring no one misses a call or an SMS and our customers are able to service their customers satisfactorily..
Our focus is on building a very fault-tolerant, loosely coupled, scalable and real-time distributed system. We are generally agnostic of language, technology or tools. Currently our tech stack is built on springboot, Java, Angular and GWT. We use CITUS, Postgre SQL as data stores, kafka, Redis as streaming and caching services. We emphasize a lot on clean abstractions of code, loosely coupled services and good coding practices We are very strong believers in “you built it, you own it!”. And running a distributed system is very different from just building one! We are crazy about high availability.
