myOnboarding is a solution that aims to help employees have the best start at a new company. It provides relevant onboarding information to employees at the right time to reduce uncertainty and improve performance and engagement. The solution was developed using rapid application development principles with an agile approach to gather feedback and continuously improve. It has evolved over time from initial frameworks like KeystoneJS to use MeteorJS and React for a customizable and scalable platform. The technology uses Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure services for continuous delivery of new features and versions to customers.
