What is the Techradar?
The Techradar is a list of technologies, complemented by an assessment result, called ring
assignment. We use four rings with the following semantics:
- ADOPT — Technologies we have high confidence in to serve our purpose, also in
large scale. Technologies with a usage culture in our production environment, low risk and
recommended to be widely used.
- TRIAL — Technologies that we have seen work with success in project work to
solve a real problem; first serious usage experience that confirm benefits and can uncover
limitations. TRIAL technologies are slightly more risky; some engineers in our team walked this path
and will share knowledge and experiences.
- ASSESS — Technologies that are promising and have clear potential value-add
for us; technologies worth to invest some research and prototyping efforts in to see if it has
impact. ASSESS technologies have higher risks; they are often brand new and highly unproven.
- HOLD — Technologies not recommended to be used for new projects. Technologies
that we think are not (yet) worth to (further) invest in. HOLD technologies should not be used for
new projects, but usually can be continued for existing projects.
