- •Implementation approaches: Different ways to solve the same problem
- •Ecosystem evaluation: Community, tooling, hiring, longevity
- •Migration paths: How to move from current state to desired state
Evaluation Criteria
Consider:
- •Maturity: Battle-tested vs cutting edge
- •Performance: Throughput, latency, resource usage
- •Developer experience: Learning curve, debugging, tooling
- •Operational complexity: Deployment, monitoring, scaling
