MatchHR: How RUBICON Transformed HR Assessments with a Cloud Platform

Backend Technologies

• Clean Architecture style
  - Separates different layers of the system and supports fast and testable development 
• ASP.NET Core Web API

• Entity Framework Core
  - Object/Relational Mapping framework used by the backend API for data persistence enablement 
• xUnit
  - Backend unit testing library
• SendGrid Email Service
  - Used by the backend API for email-sending purposes 

Frontend Technologies

• Jamstack: Gatsby + Prismic CMS + Azure CDN
  - Used to develop the frontend static website, it completely decouples the frontend from the backend development, simplifies development and deployment 
• TypeScript
  - JavaScript-based programming language which, using its compiler, enables more efficient development time
• ReactJS
  - JavaScript-based library, used to develop single-page applications in the MatchHR solution: Customers application, Testing application, as well as the public MatchHR website 
• Prismic CMS
  - Headless CMS that makes website content easy editable
  - Allows content creators/clients to edit translations (or any content on the landing page) without the need to change the code itself

Cloud and Infrastructure

• Azure App Service
  - Hosts the backend API 
• Azure Blob Storage
  - Hosts the image content used on the frontend static websites, as well as the static websites themselves 
• Azure SQL Database
  - Relational database used for data persistence 
• Azure Application Insights
  - Monitors backend and frontend performance, user sessions, and event logging to improve the quality of the whole system 
• Prismic CMS

DevOps

• Git
  - Version control and a multi-repository project structure were used. Each component of the MatchHR solution had its own repository and CI/CD pipelines.
• Azure DevOps CI/CD
  - Pipeline used to implement continuous integration and continuous delivery of both backend API and frontend static websites
