When hooked up to Machine Learning models built in python, Puppeteer allows us to automate any off the shelf, cheap router to become smart and provide safety for our hosts.

We chose Laravel and PHP over any other stack on our API backend simply because of how productive we can be with the Laravel framework compared to any other.

One thing we often overlook while evaluating PHP is how resilient it is to faults in our programming, and how easily scalable it is horizontally out of the box with almost no forethough.

On our backend we found that typesafety in a language goes a long way to catch many of the common bugs before they happen. It has also made all of us overall better JavaScript developers.

We actually did use Java to build our client app for a very long time, until one of us decided to try out Kotlin and was blown away by how elegant and productive the Kotlin language is.
