Product Development

Since Betty Blocks is a product company our product development department is rather big. Currently it consists of four development teams, a customer onboarding team and a separate DevOps / Cloud Engineering team. All of these teams are located in our headquarters in Alkmaar. Our teams are culturally diverse and we speak English on the workfloor. 

We are constantly improving our stack and development process and are happy to incorporate new services and technologies, currently our Tech Stack is as following: 

  • In our backend we also use Redis, MariaDB & RabbitMQ.

  • For our frontend we use React in combination with Typescript

  • Communication between our frontend and backend happens through GraphQL

  • Our platform runs on Azure & Kubernetes

  • We are fans of testing and try to cover our platform as much as possible using multiple layers of testing (Unit, Integration & E2E) . We run these tests in our automated CI pipeline.

  • We're building on a solution to provide the no-code with machine learning capabilities; when working on this you make use of technologies such as Python.



Meet Paul: the Platform Godfather of Betty Blocks

Paul Engel is a senior software developer at Betty Blocks, but we like to call him the Platform-Godfather. In 2004, Paul started his software development internship at Holder, a company that provided businesses with custom-built, stand-alone applications.

At the time, Paul was creating different Windows apps and realized that all the applications resembled each other. By the end of 2005, he wrote his thesis based on creating a Delphi IDE plug-in that lets you generate (and update) Holder framework-based ERP applications. In other words, he created one application that lets you build more applications from it. Paul's concept led to the foundation of our no-code platform and in 2011, Betty Blocks was created.

Innovation Day at Betty Blocks

Scrum Master Daniel Keizer organized a successful first Innovation Day to provide a creative, fun and innovative day for development teams. 13 ideas were presented, including tools to make developers' lives easier. The day ended with presentations, social gathering, and good food. Daniel and fellow Scrum Masters plan to have an Innovation Day every quarter, with the ultimate goal of an innovation week for all offices of Betty Blocks.

Meet our team!

At Betty Blocks, you'll find a team of highly skilled professionals who are passionate about technology and committed to providing exceptional service. From software developers to sales executives, each employee plays a vital role in the success of the company.
