We are a car marketplace that combines vehicles and financial services all in one place. We are backed by great investors and have a small & dynamic team. Our frontend stack is react/redux/node, our iOS app is written using Swift and react-native, our Android app is written in Kotlin, and our backend is ruby+Elixir for micro services.
I can confirm that it tastes best when you wait. I occasionally go Ahi fishing off the shore of Kauai with friends, and they usually ice it right away and wait a couple of days before cutting it for sashimi.
At Instamotor we use Elastic Search, Redis, and S3 for files/photos. In my previous job (Nest), we looked at a decent number of options and ended up going with Cassandra.
