The tools we use in production
Every framework, database, AI provider and infrastructure tool Ascii-Core deploys on client projects — with honest trade-offs, not marketing copy. 14 technologies across 7 categories.
AI & Machine Learning
LLM providers and orchestration frameworks powering our AI systems.
Web Framework
Frameworks and languages for production web applications.
Mobile
Cross-platform mobile frameworks for iOS and Android.
Backend & BaaS
Backend-as-a-service and managed data layers.
Infrastructure & Deployment
Deployment platforms and containerisation.
Automation
Workflow automation with native AI integration.
Database & Vector Search
Relational and vector databases for every data workload.
Engineering principles
The non-negotiables that apply across every technology choice on every project.
- 1
TypeScript strict mode on every project — no `any`, no implicit types, no exceptions.
- 2
Open-source and self-hostable where possible — no vendor lock-in on client data or workflows.
- 3
One team across AI, automation and software — no handoffs between specialisms.
- 4
PostgreSQL as the default database — relational integrity, vector search, full-text search in one system.
- 5
Production-first architecture — monitoring, observability and security built in from day one, not retrofitted.
