Adopt, trial, assess or hold? Find out in the 30th edition of the Technology Radar! The Thoughtworks Technology Radar has been tracking changes in the technology landscape for over a decade.
Based on our observations, conversations and experiences with our clients, it covers both existing and emerging technologies.
The report divides the trends into four groups: Techniques, platforms, tools, programming languages and frameworks. Within these groups, each trend has a recommendation: "Hold" for technologies that are not initially recommended for use; "Assess" for technologies that require further evaluation; "Trial" for technologies that are ready for use; and "Adopt" for mature technologies.
Each edition, we capture some of the big pictures that are emerging in our themes. The themes for this edition are:
AI-Assisted software development teams
Open-ish source licenses
Dragging Pull Requests closer to proper continuous integration
Emerging architecture patterns for large language models
You can explore the interactive Radar here or download the whole report as a PDF.
