On top of that, any features we build unlocks functionality across the entire platform. Our work creates a consistent data experience for customers through the entire HubSpot product.

HubSpot has thousands of microservices, primarily written in Java, and work with highly distributed systems that leverage and push on open-source technologies such as HBase, Kafka, Spark, Memcached, MySQL, and ElasticSearch. These systems let our users store, automate, report on, and interact with their customers at scale. We deal with problems of scale on a daily basis with PB storage and millions of transactions per second.
