Our Tech Stack
Cleo is built as a Ruby on Rails monolith with a single React Native app frontend utilising TypeScript. We also leverage Python for machine‑learning services and PostgreSQL for our database, all hosted on AWS. Our CI/CD pipeline is fully automated, with production deployments happening on every merge via Heroku. Our backend engineers deploy multiple times a week, and we release our frontend app to Google and Apple for review at least once a week.
We place a strong emphasis on quality. Our code is peer‑reviewed, and we maintain automated testing using Minitest and CircleCI.
