Weekly TechUps – the b-nova TechHub

Im TechUp We at b-nova embody innovation to the core and as such, we organize a so-called TechUp, a in-house tech radar session, every week. In those sessions, we evaluate promising technologies for its potential and functional suitability. Once evaluated, we bring our insights into a written form which constitutes the main share of our blog content. Therefore, we render our in-house research open-source and available to our customers.

Let us level up together in our technological awareness. In this way, we ensure to keep our mental toolbox up-to-date with the latest developments in the world of tech. We eventually manage to stay equipped with the cutting edge of technologies and tools. As our customer, you will be presented with battle-tested, yet modern technology that will leverage lasting, sustainable solutions.

If you want to know more about a specifc topic that we covered or would like to have some questions answered, make sure to reach out to us, we are always open to have a chat about technology and how software engineering can be improved.

Tech up with us! Every week is a new opportunity to learn something new – Stay tuned!
