Tech services checklist
Most projects will need all of these services below, with very few exceptions.
Code repository
We recommend GitHub to function as both our central code repository and code review platform.
Team communication
We recommend Slack for its ability to allow our team to communicate asynchronously, in and out of the office. Be sure to set up integrations with the other services!
Ticket management
We recommend Atlassian Jira for its incredible flexibility in letting us manage issues, tickets and sprints. Alternatively, there's also Trello and Asana.
Continuous integration & development
We recommend SemaphoreCI to continuously test changes as they appear, as well as to automate deployments to staging0. Alternatively, there's also CircleCI.
Staging server
