My Own TechRadar

Fuck Zalando.

Prefer - node.js - PHP & php-fpm - RPC-style JSON APIs - SPA: JSON DTO services | server-side: own 500 cloc ORM + MVC - React - preact - leaflet - postgresql - mariadb - nginx - Docker - Debian Linux - prometheus & grafana - headless chromium - stolon - Consul - dovecot, postfix - git - Gitea - redis, memcached - kafka - keepalived - opennebula - MediaWiki - JSON Schema

Allow but prefer other options, if any - haproxy - ansible - boot2docker - patroni - etcd - ethereum - spamassassin - roundcube webmail - kubernetes - Gitlab - python - Ceph - OData

Avoid as much as possible / inappropriate solution in the vast majority of cases - microservice architecture - ExtJS - RHEL / CentOS - heavy JS grids in general, like ag-grid - java - .net core - golang - typescript - all other statically typed languages for web backend & frontend - vert.x (java) - jOOQ, querydsl (java) - PHP CMSs (and probably CMSs in general) - redux - vue.js - mobx - react-router - apache - munin - vagrant - Lua - Perl - bootstrap - Keycloak, WSO2IS - Mercurial - SOAP, XML-RPC, JSON-RPC - GUI IDEs

Deny use / never a good solution even if popular - REST - GraphQL - Angular - jQuery - older databinding js frameworks like ember.js, backbone and so on - rxjs - Traditional ORM in general, like Hibernate (java) or Doctrine (PHP) - Heavy frameworks in general, like Spring (java) or Yii/Laravel/etc (PHP) - DI in general - Liquibase (java) - Java Application servers - Ruby - Erlang/Elixir - Windows, MacOS - .NET - Oracle - Proprietary software in general - Bazaar, CVS and other VCS
