We use Discord to tracking some action and errors (logs / alerting / assertion). it's free and simple to use with mobile application et notifications

We use InfluxDB because we need to store time series data for scan history. It's very simple to use and it's perfect to store value on event (on datetime).

Composer is THE tool for dependency management in PHP. This idea is not new and Composer is strongly inspired by node's npm and ruby's bundler.

We use PHP for Web backend and for deamon. PHP 7 is very fast for web or CLI application.

We use PhpStorm because we use PHP ! PHPStorm (included webstorm) is the best IDE for PHP. It's always Up to date with PHP version and have good plugins for productivity

MySQL is use for store user data and configuration. It's a good relationship database

Ubuntu server is a good operating system for hosting. It's free, fast, light with a rich ecosystem. We use systemd service on ubuntu to have many daemon to quickly scan all sites

We use Grafana because we have to view some application events in the time (numbers of new users, numbers of scan, numbers of new monitor, numbers of login, etc)

We use gulp because we need to optimise assets (JS / CSS / Images) before deploy the web application (and website) of pingbreak.

Vue.js have a virtual DOM and it's very fast to refresh data. it's important for Pingbreak because we can have a dashboard with thousands of websites that update every second
