Our open-source and commercial experience gets distilled and published regularly on our team blog.

Back-end

Ruby and Ruby on Rails are in the heart of most projects and the essential Martian tool of choice.

To power the most high-performant projects—to withstand high load, build networking applications or process huge amounts of data, we add Go, Scala, or Erlang to the mix.

Front-end

React with Redux is the Martian go-to JavaScript framework. Node.js and ES7, the latest version of JavaScript, are the foundation for front-end development. We build front-end with Webpack, PostCSS, and Babel.

Mobile

For iOS development, Martians use the Swift language for all emerging applications. We support existing Objective-C applications as well.

Infrastructure

Dedicated Martian DevOps team uses Chef to automate infrastructure management and deploy software on Amazon Web Services or any other cloud or dedicated bare-metal hosting.

Open Source for the win

All of our products are based on open-source technologies. For us, it is vital to be a part of the community, to participate in the open source movement and to give back as well as to start new projects.
