Currently, we use C# in the front-end, which is transpiled to JavaScript at runtime. This allows our entire codebase (both server-side and client-side) to run from the same codebase. They are in the process of migrating our front-end stack to use Blazor, which also uses C# to produce reusable components. Their backend is a mix of classic relational databases, as well as a custom-designed NoSQL data store optimised for write once, read many operations.
