Agentic Software Development

Implementation & Maintenance of Large Software Systems

Programming Languages

• We primarily work with Enterprise Java as well as C++, C#, JavaScript / TypeScript, Kotlin, PHP, and Python
• We also work, but less frequently, with C, Go, Groovy, Objective-C, Ruby, Rust, Scala, and Swift
• Unusual languages like Haskell — we know them for the joy of it

Web Technologies

• Frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue.js, Flux/Redux, Ember
• Java frontend technologies like Spring MVC, JSF and JSP, JavaFX, SWT, Swing, and Vaadin
• ASP.NET and Node.js
• Grails on Groovy, Rails on Ruby, Python with Flask, and PHP with Symfony
• CSS with Less and Sass, PostCSS, and CSS-in-JS

Frameworks

• O/R mapping with Hibernate/JPA, Doctrine, and Entity Framework
• Inversion of Control with Spring, CDI, Simple Injector, and Unity
• Application development with Spring Boot, .NET Core, Micronaut, and Quarkus
• Enterprise Integration with Apache Camel and ESBs, TIBCO
• Messaging with Kafka, ActiveMQ, and RabbitMQ
• Stream processing with Apache Flink and Spark
• Rule Engines with Drools
• Reactive Applications with Akka, Spring, and Reactive Streams
• Component models with OSGi and Java Modules
• GUIs with Qt

Tools

• Search engines & tools like ElasticSearch/Logstash/Kibana and Solr/Lucene/Hibernate Search
• Shell scripting with Bash, Zsh, PowerShell
• Compiler construction with Yacc/Bison/JavaCC/ANTLR and f/lex
• Complex e-commerce solutions based on the hybris Commerce Suite and the hybris Commerce Accelerator

Architecture & Design

• Domain Driven Design (DDD), object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD)
• Distributed systems with REST & SOAP, GraphQL, and OData
• API management with OpenAPI and Apigee
• Event-driven architectures, Event Sourcing, and CQRS
• Serverless architectures
• Responsive Web Design, Progressive Web Apps & User Experience (UX)
• Documentation with JGiven and arc42 templates
• Architecture rules with ArchUnit

Automated Testing & Quality Assurance

• Test-driven development and test automation with Continuous Integration systems like Jenkins and Bamboo
• Test tools: JUnit/TestNG/FitNesse, Hamcrest/Mockito, Concordion, Behat, JGiven, AssertJ & FEST, Selenium/Geb, Jest, Mocha and Jasmine, Spock and Behave
• Quality management with SonarQube™, PMD, FindBugs/SpotBugs, CheckStyle, *Lint
• Code reviews and software verification
• Performance testing & tuning, analysis of concurrency and memory leak issues

Runtime & Development Environments

• Java application servers: WebLogic, Tomcat, Jetty, WebSphere, and Wildfly
• Portal servers like Liferay
• Operating systems like Linux, Unix, macOS, Windows
• Build systems like Gradle, Maven, Ant, Ivy, npm, Gulp, Phing, Composer, yarn, CMake, NAnt, and NuGet
• Version control with Git (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket), SVN, ClearCase, Mercurial, TFS, Jazz
• Artifact management with Nexus/Artifactory
• Wikis and bug trackers like Atlassian Confluence and Jira, JetBrains YouTrack, Trac, MediaWiki
• IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ, PHPStorm, and CLion
• Development for mobile devices on iOS and Android
• Cloud and SaaS platforms like AWS and Azure, Google Cloud Platform, OpenShift, and AppExchange

Services, Processes & Requirements

• Best-practice software development with Scrum and Kanban, scaled Scrum (SAFe, LeSS), and techniques from Extreme Programming / XP
• Support as Scrum Master and Product Owner
• Language- and tool-independent implementation of business processes
• Restructuring of ongoing third-party projects as well as troubleshooting and refactoring of legacy code
• Agile Requirements Engineering, User Stories/Story Mapping, and Event Storming
• Firefighting deployments
• Training, workshops, and know-how transfer

IT Modernization

• Inventory assessment, Due Diligence review
• Roadmap for modernization: customized modernization with various technologies across different industries
• Consulting on modernization strategies, e.g. following the Strangler Pattern or with in-place modernizations
• Support in prioritizing existing business features
• Achieving cloud readiness
• Intelligent concepts for transformation: temporary adapters that hide the migration from client systems
• Paradigm shifts and introduction of best practices in software development and requirements management
• Quality assurance and risk minimization through increased automation
