\nDevelopers at Perch write clean and maintainable Python3 and modern Javascript.\n\nOn the backend; we mainly use the battle-tested Django Rest Framework to create scalable, robust, queryable REST APIs.

We use Redis to cache expensive calls where necessary. We use Docker and AWS to support our infrastructure. On the frontend; we have a single page application written in React that connects to our Django API for data.\n\n Our growing development team follows an agile workflow; planning projects that can be broken down into tasks that can be completed in two-week sprints.
