Our Technology Stack




















Team Leads

Hubbard CTO/COO
My team is responsible for scaling Updater through technology. This includes everything from helping to find the best software products for Updater to communicate & collaborate with to experimenting with new languages and frameworks to architecting the technology that the Updater platform runs on.
More about Ryan >
Tech I'm most excited about right now:
"While I should be talking serverless edge like Cloud Flare Workers, Next.js, Flutter or some other Eng tech, I'm really most excited about the innovation that's happening in collaboration & product tools like Miro, Whimsical, Coda, Guru, Notion, ProductBoard, Airfocus, etc. There're so many new tools that will streamline not only how Product and Engineering work, but also the whole company."

Hume VP of Engineering
Our team works on building the most innovative technology solutions to manage moving your home. I am lucky to be surrounded by brilliant problem solvers, talented architectes, and great coders to product awesome user experiences that impact millions of people.

Tech I'm most excited about right now:
"Everything! There is so much happening in so many domains. I'm most excited to learn how some of these new tools and paradigms can help us solve our problems in simple ways. For instance, moving to GraphQL has helped us have better, more transparent conversations around API design and allowed us to simplify our view layer. The adoption of OpenTelemetry yielded better insights into our systems and sped up debug time. Frameworks like Next.js and Flutter are pushing the limits and focusing on providing truly amazing developer experiences while tackling some really complex problems. Can't wait to see what else is on the horizon!"

More about Colin >
Tech I'm most excited about right now:
"There are so many many new tools and frameworks I'm excited to explore. We're already starting to leverage some of them like Open Telemetry, but I'm really excited to see how stuff like the Operator Framework, Tekton, Jenkins X, Buildpacks, Keda, OPA, Loki, and more evolve our industry and enable even better CI/CD capabilities. Oh, and chaos engineering - I can't wait for us to dive into that!"

Jubair QA Manager
Our team's north star is building a modern automation platform for deployment. We empower our engineers through tooling and software, allowing them to build confidence in the code they deliver, while maintaining the highest of quality standards.
