Introduction to Engineering Standards

Welcome to our engineering team! This guide will help you understand our development philosophy, standards, and practices.

Our Engineering Philosophy

We believe in:

  • Quality First: Writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
  • Automation: Reducing manual work through effective tooling and CI/CD
  • Security: Building secure applications from the ground up
  • Documentation: Maintaining clear and up-to-date documentation
  • Collaboration: Working together effectively through standardized practices

Standards Overview

Our standards are organized into several key areas:

1. Common Standards

These apply to all projects and cover:

  • Git workflow and commit conventions
  • Code review process
  • Security requirements
  • Documentation templates
  • Quality metrics

2. Technology-Specific Standards

We maintain specific standards for different domains:

  • Web Development (Frontend/Backend)
  • Mobile Development (iOS/Android)
  • Data Engineering
  • AI/ML
  • Cloud Infrastructure
  • Quality Assurance

3. Project Templates

We provide templates for quick project setup:

  • Web applications (NestJS, Next.js)
  • Mobile applications
  • Database projects
  • CI/CD configurations

Tools and Practices

Development Environment

We use standardized tools across projects:

  • Version Control: Git
  • Code Quality: ESLint, SonarQube
  • Testing: Jest, Cypress
  • CI/CD: GitLab CI
  • Documentation: MkDocs

Automation

We automate wherever possible:

  • Code formatting
  • Testing
  • Security scanning
  • Deployment
  • Documentation generation

Security

Security is integrated into our development process:

  • Regular security scanning
  • Dependency auditing
  • Code review checklist
  • Access control standards
  • Encryption requirements
