Micro-services running in a Kubernetes cluster in Google Cloud.

• All repo exists isolated from each other
• There is React Design System repo that mostly all UI systems are dependant. The approach to update it, it's mostly due linking and creating pre-releases.
• Multiple staging environments that work mostly identical than production

Deployment

Ethical Jobs would like to receive some recommendations about how can we improve the way that releases are being handled

• Storybook design system: https://design-system-react.ethicalstaging.com.au/?path=/story/components-atoms-avatar--image

Frontend responsiveness challenges

• Not single solution to aim responsiveness
• Current solution is through styled-system components
• Other options:
  • Container query: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_container_queries
  • Fluid layout: https://blog.hubspot.com/website/fluid-design

CMS decision

• Actual implementation of Wordpress CMS is quite hard to maintain and it's made by external team, and the actual assumption is that they would be better if they can walk off from that solution.
• Team wants to be informed and included in the loop about decisions/effort through this.
• Contentful
