Govly’s primary app runs on Ruby/Rails, Javascript/React, Postgres, Redis, and Elasticsearch. We also run a bunch of Node services that handle web automation using PlaywrightJS and CheerioJS (driven by crawlee.dev). We use AI and LLMs heavily in both our development process and throughout the product.

• Can define, articulate, and follow up on the KPIs of your work
