TECHNOLOGY RADAR

Use technology deliberately.

The Silver Fox radar is not a popularity chart. It describes technologies and practices by the role they currently play in our engineering approach.

Adopted technologies solve active problems today. Trial items are evaluated in bounded contexts. Assess items are monitored before they earn production responsibility.

01

Adopt

Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, TypeScript, React/Next.js, OpenAPI, structured CI/CD and security-focused source control practices are established parts of the stack.

02

Adopt when justified

Kafka, OpenSearch, OpenTelemetry, S3-compatible object storage and container orchestration are used when their operational role is clear.

03

Trial

AI-assisted engineering workflows, advanced policy automation and new platform abstractions are introduced behind measurable goals and review gates.

04

Assess continuously

Managed cloud services, edge capabilities, international payment rails and emerging developer tooling are evaluated against portability, security and operational cost.

ENGINEERING VIEW

Modern is not the same as useful.

A technology earns its place by reducing risk, increasing leverage or making the system easier to operate.
