Interview for JetBrains: Why Localazy developers ️ Kotlin?

1

Minio

For data, we use S3/MinIO, sharded PostgreSQL, and Elasticsearch. For accessing the database, we don't use Java Persistence API (JPA) but JDBI.org as it is easier to tweak queries manually, and we use a lot of specific queries and offload some processing to the database. Many of them are written to use PostgreSQL's specific features, e.g., JSONB columns, so we don't consider database independence a critical factor.
