DrFirst, Inc. Tech Stack
E-prescribing and medication management platform for healthcare providers
DrFirst operates a medication management platform serving healthcare providers and pharmacies, with a tech stack centered on AWS infrastructure (EKS, Aurora, DynamoDB, Redshift), Epic integration, and PostgreSQL. The hiring mix is engineering-heavy relative to company size, with an active engineering director hire and three open engineering roles—paired with projects in cloud-native microservices and PostgreSQL optimization—suggesting infrastructure modernization is a near-term priority. Pain points around database bottlenecks, disaster recovery, and high-throughput requirements indicate the platform is scaling beyond legacy architecture constraints.
