Technology stack

At the heart of Bizzkit's functionality lies a robust technology stack, crafted with a focus on performance, scalability, and security.

• The platform's applications are built using .NET, adhering to the latest Long Term Support (LTS) version to ensure stability and receive continued updates and support.

• For data management and storage, Bizzkit utilizes Microsoft SQL Server

• For search functionality, Bizzkit employs Elasticsearch, offering high-speed, scalable search capabilities and enhancing the user experience through features such as full-text search and real-time indexing.

• For caching Bizzkit leverages Redis as an in-memory data store.

• On the frontend, most Bizzkit applications uses TypeScript and React.

Together, these technologies form the strong technical foundation upon which Bizzkit's comprehensive eCommerce solutions are built.
