Technology

Ad-Hoc and Independent Selections: Each project independently selects technologies, leading to a diverse and often incompatible technology estate.

Uniform Technology Mandate: Technology choices are highly regulated, with a uniform, organization-wide technology stack that all projects must adhere to.

Guided by Outdated Resources: A technology radar and some documented patterns exist, but they are outdated and not widely regarded as useful or relevant.

Current and Maintained Guidance: A regularly updated technology radar, along with current documentation and patterns, covers a wide range of use cases and is actively used for guidance.

Collaborative and Evolving Ecosystem: Regular show-and-tell sessions and collaboration with existing teams are encouraged. There’s a strong emphasis on reusing and extending existing solutions, alongside rewarding innovation and experimentation.

Monolithic Applications with Wide Technology Stack: The predominant architecture is monolithic, with applications deployed as single, indivisible units encompassing a wide range of technologies.

Modular but Not Independently Deployable: Applications are broken down into modules, offering greater development flexibility, yet these modules are not deployable as independent components.

Modularized and Individually Deployable Components: Applications are structured into self-contained, individually deployable components. However, significant interdependencies add complexity to testing.

Mostly Independent Deployment with Some Monoliths: While most application components are independently deployable and testable, a few core system components still rely on a monolithic architecture.

Fully Component-Based Modular Architecture: The technology stack consistently utilizes a component-based modular approach. All components are independently testable and deployable, free from monolithic stack dependencies.
