Our Stack
The API side of Discz is written in Python/Django and hosted on AWS with PostgreSQL as a data store. Auxiliary technologies include Redis, Celery, and GraphQL.
Experience with the above technologies would be nice, but is by no means required. We’re much more interested in your passion for music and our product, and the resulting intrinsic motivation to learn and build quickly. We’d also love your input on any new modern technologies you believe would help us build a better product!
