Our Technology Stack
We built Altored Health on a modern, cloud-native stack designed for scalability, security, and rapid development. Each technology was chosen for its reliability and ability to meet healthcare compliance standards.
Core Technologies
Microsoft Azure
Our primary cloud platform, providing App Services for hosting, Blob Storage for data management, and built-in HIPAA compliance capabilities. Azure's integrated ecosystem allows us to manage infrastructure, databases, and deployment pipelines all in one place.
PostgreSQL
A robust, open-source relational database that stores our healthcare pricing data, user information, and application state. PostgreSQL's reliability and advanced query capabilities make it ideal for handling complex healthcare data relationships.
Prisma
Our database toolkit and ORM that simplifies database access with type-safe queries and automatic migrations. Prisma sits between our application code and PostgreSQL, making database operations faster to write and safer to execute.
React
The frontend framework powering our user interface, enabling a fast, responsive experience with component-based architecture. React's virtual DOM and ecosystem of tools let us build complex interfaces that remain performant even with large datasets.
Node.js
Our JavaScript runtime for backend services, handling API requests, data processing, and integration with Azure services. Node.js enables us to use JavaScript across the full stack, streamlining development and code sharing.
Python
Used for data parsing, transformation scripts, and backend processing tasks where Python's extensive libraries excel. Python handles our data pipeline work, converting raw healthcare data into structured formats ready for the database.
Why These Choices
This stack balances modern development practices with healthcare industry requirements. Azure provides the compliance framework we need. PostgreSQL offers the data integrity healthcare applications demand. React delivers the user experience patients expect. Prisma and Node.js accelerate development without sacrificing quality. Python bridges the gap between raw data sources and our structured database. Together, these technologies let us move fast while building something secure and reliable.
