<h3>Introduction</h3>
<p>
Technology is moving fast and new technologies and innovations appear
continuously.
</p>
<p>
It's essential for a development and technology company such as AOE to
constantly improve and keep track with the latest useful innovations.
It is important to openly look for innovations and new technologies
and to question established technologies and methods every now and
then.
</p>
<p>
But, it is also important to wisely choose which technologies to use
in our daily work and in the different projects we are carrying out.
As we all know: There is no silver bullet.
</p>
<h3>What is the {radarName}</h3>
<p>
The Tech Radar is an overview of different technologies - from
languages, frameworks, tools and patterns to platforms - that we
consider "new or mentionable". The radar therefore doesn't provide an
overview of all established technologies - but it focuses on items
that have recently gained in importance or changed.
</p>
<h3>How it is created</h3>
<p>
The items in the technology radar are raised by the different teams
and therefore a lot of the items are related to the work and
challenges the teams face in the different projects. In fact, we don't
include anything on the radar, which we haven't already tried
ourselves at least once.
</p>
<p>
There have been a lot of valuable discussions in different expert
groups about the classification and details of each of technologies
and innovations. And the result of all this can be found in the latest
technology radar.
</p>
<h3>How should it be used</h3>
<p>
The radar acts as an overview of technologies that we think everyone
in the teams should currently know about.
</p>
<p>
Its goal is to act as a guide and inspiration for the daily work in
the teams. Its purpose is also to provide helpful information and a
bird's-eye perspective - so that decisions can be taken with a much
deeper understanding of the subject matter. This results in
more-informed and better-aligned decisions.
</p>
<p>
We also hope that developers outside of AOE find the informations in
our technologie overview inspirational.
</p>
<p>
We group or categorize the items in 4 quadrants - (sometimes, when
it's not 100% clear where a item belongs, we choose the best fit).
</p>
<p>The quadrants are:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Languages and Frameworks:</strong> We've placed development
languages (such as Scala or Golang) here, as well as more low-level
development frameworks (such as Play or Symfony), which are useful
for implementing custom software of all kinds.{" "}
</li>
<li>
<strong>Tools:</strong> Here we put different software tools - from
small helpers to bigger software projects
</li>
<li>
<strong>Methods and Patterns:</strong> Patterns are so important,
and a lot of them are valid for a long time (compared to some tools
or frameworks). So, this is the category where we put information on
methods and patterns concerning development, continuous x, testing,
organization, architecture, etc.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Platforms and Services</strong> (including AOE internal
Services): Here we include infrastructure platforms and services. We
also use this category to communicate news about AOE services that
we want all AOE teams to be aware of.
</li>
</ul>
<p>Each of the items is classified in one of these rings:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Adopt:</strong> We can clearly recommend this technology. We
have used it for longer period of time in many teams and it has
proven to be stable and useful.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Trial:</strong> We have used it with success and recommend
to have a closer look at the technology in this ring. The goal of
items here is to look at them more closely, with the goal to bring
them to the adopt level.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Assess:</strong> We have tried it out and we find it
promising. We recommend having a look at these items when you face a
specific need for the technology in your project.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Hold:</strong> This category is a bit special. Unlike the
others, we recommend to stop doing or using something. That does not
mean that they are bad and it often might be ok to use them in
existing projects. But we move things here if we think we shouldn't
do them anymore - because we see better options or alternatives now.
</li>
</ul>
