Technology governance
IT organisation from the perspective of used technologies
Actively govern and advise on the organisation tech stack
Tech Radar
One of the most powerful features of SOA/microservices architecture is the ability to use the right tool for the task. Unlike in other architectures, every part of the system can be written in its own language using its own set of tools and techs.
But “with great power comes great responsibility”. Without proper governance, there is a high risk that you will end up in the tech zoo.
Service360 provides a simple and easy way to manage and advise on the technology choices - Tech Radar.
Tech Radar gives you a way to document and visualize your organization’s software choices and can provide guidance to engineers on the solutions.
