The Online section maintains the main Daily Bruin website, all internal tools that journalists use in the newsroom and any external flatpages. It works with Design and other sections to create a seamless website experience. Online builds tools for other sections to optimize their workflows, typically via web applications.

It has multiple beats, including main-site, internal tools and external sites. Main-site oversees the development and maintenance of Dailybruin.com. Internal tools builds tools for other Daily Bruin sections, mainly web applications. External sites works on flat pages connected to the main website. It utilizes the following applications in its work: Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Django and a multitude of other coding languages/frameworks (including, but not limited to, JavaScript, Python, Node.js, Typescript, etc.)
