Our product:

Wallarm API security solutions provide proven performance to support innovative companies serving millions of users and billions of API requests per month. Hundreds of Security and DevOps teams globally use Wallarm daily to:

1. Discover. See every asset across your entire attack surface—from cloud environments to every API endpoint with auto-discovery capabilities.
2. Protect. A single suite that goes beyond OWASP Top 10 for full coverage for API specific threats, account takeover, malicious bots, L7 DDoS, and more.
3. Respond. Streamline incident response with complete visibility, smart triggers, and active threat verification.
4. Test. Automate security testing of your APIs and web assets. Prioritize remediation for every asset, in every environment.

Our technology stack:

• The system management interface is written in React and is a Single Page Application. Therefore, backend teams are not engaged in layout, but only API development.
• For backend development, we use Ruby and Golang
• Some components and modules are written in Python (Data Science/ML). But mostly Python is used by the QA department for developing integration autotests.
• Cloud deployed with Kubernetes/Helm and Terraform
• Main frameworks used: Ruby On Rails (API only)/Sinatra; gin for Golang
• Main databases used: PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, Riak/S3, Tarantool and Redis
