Tech radar

The Dynatrace Tech Radar is a comprehensive and visualized guide on the latest trends, tools, and best practices within the Dynatrace AppEngine community, helping developers and teams make informed decisions.

• ADOPT — Battle-tested technologies in production environments and at large scale. Everything in this ring is a solid choice, proven low-risk, and mature.
• TRIAL — Technologies that are more risky and not as proven as those in the ADOPT ring. Use with discretion to confirm benefits or unveil limitations.
• ASSESS — Technologies worth keeping an eye on. Usually brand new or unproven, we recommend a thorough assessment before adopting.
• HOLD — Technologies we have tried with little success or think are not worth further investing in. Avoid using technologies in this ring for new projects.
