What is the Tech Radar?

The Radar is a document that sets out the changes that we think are currently interesting in software development — things in motion that we think we should pay attention to and consider using in our projects. It reflects the idiosyncratic opinion of a bunch of senior technologists and is based on our day-to-day work and experiences.

• TRIAL — Is for blips that we think are ready for use, but not as completely proven as those in the Adopt ring. we think should use these on a trial basis, to decide whether they should be part of our toolkit.
• ASSESS — Are things to look at closely, but not necessarily trial yet.
• HOLD — is for things that, even though they are accepted in the industry, we haven't had a good experience with. Therefore we are calling them out to warn you that you may run into trouble with them as well.
