Kubernetes
An orchestration system for deploying and managing containerized applications. It is commonly used for scalable services, production deployments, service discovery, and infrastructure standardization.
Docker
A container platform for packaging applications with their runtime dependencies. Docker is useful for local development, reproducible deployments, CI/CD, and running services consistently across environments.
Terraform
An infrastructure-as-code tool for defining and managing cloud and platform resources through versioned configuration.
Databricks
A data and AI platform built around lakehouse, analytics, data engineering, machine learning, and enterprise data collaboration workflows.
Apache Spark
A distributed data processing engine commonly used for large-scale batch and streaming data jobs, analytics pipelines, and lakehouse workloads.
Supabase
An application backend platform built around Postgres, often used for auth, database APIs, storage, edge functions, and rapid full-stack product development.
OpenAI API
OpenAI's developer API for using models and platform features in applications. In FDE work, it can appear in prototypes, production AI workflows, retrieval systems, tool-calling apps, and customer integrations.
Anthropic / Claude
Anthropic is an AI company; Claude is its family of AI assistants and models. Listings may mention Claude when customers or products use Anthropic models for generation, analysis, coding, or workflow automation.
LangChain / LangGraph
Open-source frameworks for building LLM applications and agentic workflows. LangChain focuses on application components and integrations; LangGraph focuses on graph-based, stateful agent workflows.
LlamaIndex
An open-source framework for building data-aware LLM applications, especially retrieval, indexing, connectors, and RAG workflows.
Model Context Protocol / MCP
An open protocol for connecting LLM applications to external tools, data sources, and workflows through a standardized client/server interface.
ServiceNow
An enterprise platform for IT service management, workflow automation, ticketing, operations, and business process management. FDE-adjacent roles may use it as an integration target or automation environment.
Salesforce / CRM
Salesforce is a major customer relationship management platform. CRM systems track customers, accounts, opportunities, support interactions, and sales or service workflows, and often become important integration targets.
