Our Tech Stack

Over the past several years, Rightmove has been transitioning towards a microservices architecture. Fast forward to today and we now have a tech stack where teams are empowered to deploy their own code using continuous delivery. On the back end, our tech stack includes Spring Boot, Kafka and Elasticsearch. 

On the front-end we’ve been focussing on a functional programming approach using Javascript libraries like React to build quick and responsive webpages.
