Benefits card and prepaid payment processing platform for Brazilian enterprises
Alelo administers benefits and prepaid cards for mid-market and enterprise employers across Brazil, backed by Banco do Brasil and Bradesco. The tech stack reveals infrastructure-heavy investment: Kubernetes, Docker, ArgoCD, and multi-cloud presence (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI) paired with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry). Active hiring in engineering and an intense focus on developer experience (Backstage-based portal, self-service provisioning, pipeline automation) signals a shift toward internal platform maturity and faster deployment cycles—likely driven by the pain points around infrastructure migration and cloud compliance automation.
