Product Development

Product DevelopmentSince Betty Blocks is a product company our product development department is rather big. Currently it consists of eight 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. 

Frontend technologies we use are mostly React and TypeScript. Our main backend language is Elixir, though we do have some NodeJS services as well. Additionally we use Redis, MariaDB & RabbitMQ in our backend. The platform itself runs on Azure using Docker & Kubernetes.

Meet Paul: the Platform Godfather of Betty BlocksPaul 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.

Meet Yordi: our learning & development coach for the product departmentYordi is a full-stack developer turned learning and development coach.

Yordi's role is to guide developers to the next level, creating personalized learning plans and providing code reviews. He also teaches Informatics once a week. Yordi's passion for teaching and helping others grow makes him an invaluable asset to the development team.
