Zalando Engineering

MARCH 29, 2017

Zalando depends on open source technologies to exist. Take a look at our Tech Radar and you’ll see PostgreSQL, Kafka, React, and many other household-name projects listed there. We also depend heavily on our own open source software — and in the last year, a growing number of developers and teams from other companies have begun to do the same. Many of our projects are now co-developed by Zalandos and talented devs from RedHat, Mozilla, and more.

Every year, Zalando’s Hack Week gives us the opportunity to join together in cross-disciplinary teams to solve a wide variety of problems (you can check this year’s amazing winners here ). The projects come from any point of the organization and we are encouraged to band together with other employees across locations and business units. For our 2016 edition of Hack Week, we implemented a PySpark version of Hidden Markov Model (HMM).
