Tech Radar

Technologies currently under evaluation before becoming team defaults.

Use this page to track technologies we are testing now, why we are testing them, and what must be true before adoption.

Overall goals for 2026

We are currently optimizing for faster development and deployment cycles so projects can be delivered faster in the era of agentic AI.

This means prioritizing technologies that:

  • reduce setup and iteration time
  • simplify release and deployment workflows
  • keep quality gates strong while increasing delivery throughput

Status legend

  • Trial: explored in spikes and internal prototypes
  • Assess: used in non-critical project slices
  • Adopt: approved as a tool for new projects
  • Hold: postponed due to risk or missing capability

Working agreement

  • New tools must be tested in a bounded scope first.
  • Every trial needs an owner and evaluation date.
  • Adoption decisions are recorded in ADRs.
