Technology
Tools chosen for the job, not the fashion.
We have preferences, and we also try to hold them lightly. Below is the kind of technology we commonly work with. The right choice depends on your team and your problem.
Cloud platforms
Multi-cloud, vendor neutral.
Infrastructure
Containers and automation.
Software
Languages and frameworks.
Data and messaging
Storage and movement.
Observability
Seeing what is happening.
Security
Testing and defence.
How we choose
Five questions we ask.
- 01
Can your team run it?
A clever tool nobody can operate is a liability. Existing skills count for a lot.
- 02
What happens when it fails?
We look at failure modes, recovery and the quality of the available diagnostics.
- 03
Will it still be supported?
We consider maturity, community, vendor stability and the likely cost of moving away.
- 04
What does it really cost?
Licences are only one part. Operations, training and lock-in usually matter more.
- 05
Is there something simpler?
Each additional component has to solve a problem you actually have.
