Technology Selection Principles ​
1. Production-Proven ​
Every technology must be battle-tested in production environments. We avoid experimental or bleeding-edge tools that could introduce stability risks.
2. Strong Community ​
Active communities mean better documentation, faster bug fixes, and more learning resources. We prefer technologies backed by major companies or large open-source communities.
3. Developer Experience ​
Developer productivity matters. We choose tools that minimize boilerplate, provide excellent IDE support, and have clear error messages.
4. Long-Term Support ​
We prefer LTS versions and technologies with clear roadmaps. The stack should be maintainable for 5+ years without major rewrites.
Version Policy ​
| Type | Policy |
|---|---|
| LTS Releases | Use latest LTS (e.g., .NET 10 LTS) |
| Stable Releases | Use latest stable, upgrade quarterly |
| Security Patches | Apply within 48 hours of release |
