What is Codigrade?
Codigrade transforms developer hiring by moving beyond traditional algorithmic puzzles and quizzes. Instead, candidates build a real microservice from scratch, complete with real infrastructure components like PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS S3, Apache Kafka, and RabbitMQ. The platform automatically deploys, tests, and grades the submission, providing deep insights into skills such as API design, database integration, message queue handling, code quality, and autonomy. Candidates use their own IDE and work without time pressure, resulting in a more accurate assessment of their true abilities and a better candidate experience.
