Our stack

Rentman is a modern, cloud-based web application relied on daily by our users to manage the movement of equipment and access data on the go.

Front-End

• We are using the current version of Angular as our main frontend framework, using TypeScript
• A mobile app developed with Ionic and Capacitor, built using Angular components
• Compilation and bundling done by Webpack
• Websockets (NodeJS and SocketIO) to sync data between clients
• We work based on "Continuous integration" so our systems can separately run on different versions

Back-end

• From a back-end perspective, Rentman consists of our internal API, a public API and a set of microservices. The internal API is quite intense on complex database calculations. Modern versions of PHP and MySQL, used in our internal API. Modern versions of Laravel, used by some of the microservices. Our backend is deployed on AWS

Testing approach

• Automated unit testing on every pull request
• Automated E2E tests with Ghost Inspector, running weekly and on demand
• Automated mobile app tests with Appium and Webdriverio
• Weekly manual regression testing
• Manual testing on demand

Methodology

We follow Scrum with two-week sprints and weekly releases. Our four self-organising dev teams each focus on their own product stream and consist of a product owner and 4 to 6 frontend or backend developers, one of whom has the role of scrum master. A dedicated QA team supports testing and manages regression tests and releases. During a weekly 'Tech Alignment' meeting, developers together with the CTO discuss technology, address technical debt and decide on our technical roadmap. 20% sprint capacity can be used for initiatives on the technical roadmap.
