At the Co op, our tech stack focuses on two things, rapid application delivery and long term scalability.

We start small, ready to scale as needed. Today, our website is built using the Squarespace platform. We have an e-commerce store, paid and free memberships, newsletter, blog, video libraries, courses, and forms. We store data in the Google Cloud today in a low scale friendly way. As our site traffic increases, we will need to consider more scalable data storage and collection methods.

Today’s Production Tech Stack: Squarespace, Google sheets, Javascript, Zapier Automation

Each stage has corresponding icons and descriptions. A note highlights the decision to use low-code solutions over S3 due to data privacy concerns.
