Liven Tech Stack

All-in-one POS and hospitality operations platform for Asia-Pacific venues

Embedded Software Products Melbourne, Victoria 51–200 employees Founded 2015 Privately Held

Liven operates a multi-tenant POS and hospitality management platform across 6,000+ venues in Australia, Southeast Asia, and the USA. The tech stack reveals a mid-scale backend migration in progress: the core runs on Python/Django and Node.js with Kafka and Spark for event streaming and analytics, but the company is actively adopting TypeScript and Next.js, suggesting a modernization of both backend services and frontend tooling. Engineering-heavy hiring (17 of 26 active roles) paired with projects around containerization, monitoring, and test automation indicates Liven is addressing operational reliability issues — client churn and system uptime appear to be the primary technical blockers holding back growth.
