Developer Tools and Data Systems Overview

Developer Tools

• Frontend frameworks (e.g., TypeScript, React) provide reusable, modular code for user interfaces.
• Backend frameworks (e.g., Django, Ruby on Rails) provide reusable, modular code for server tasks like configuration and routing.
• Version control (e.g., GitHub) manages code updates and code reviews.
• Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) (e.g., Circle CI, Jenkins) automates testing, building, and deployments.
• Servers and data hosting (e.g., AWS) allow user access to the product.
• Load balancing (e.g., AWS, NGINX) ensures stable performance during high traffic.
• Observability and incident response tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog) track performance metrics, monitor systems for errors, and help with incident management.

Data Systems

• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems manage customer analytics and sales processes.
• Data lakes (e.g., Snowflake) store data securely and recoverably.
• Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) tools (e.g., dbt) manage and automate data transfer between different sources.
• Analytics tools (e.g., Tableau, Google Analytics) provide insights from data about products, usage, and systems.

Web Development and Marketing

• Search engine optimization (SEO) ensures website visibility.
• Marketing analytics and automation tools (e.g., AppCues, Sendpulse) help introduce users to the web interface, improve marketing effectiveness, and target users for email marketing.
• Visual development platforms (e.g., Webflow) enable teams to build websites. Non-technical teams (marketers, designers) can use these tools to independently manage websites and collaborate with technical teams.

Collaboration and Productivity Systems

• Project planning and management systems (e.g., Jira, Asana) prioritize tasks and ensure efficient workflows.
• Customer service software (e.g., Zendesk) handles customer support tickets.

Security and Authentication Systems

• Access management systems (e.g., Okta) manage logins and permissions.
• Cybersecurity tools (e.g., Arctic Wolf) protect from cyberattacks.
• Password managers (e.g., 1Password) securely manage employee access to external tools.
• Intra-company communication tools (e.g., Slack, Gmail, Zoom) facilitate collaboration and discussions between teammates.
