AOE Tech radar

Our evaluation of technologies.

The AOE Tech Radar.

Constantly assessing, testing, and, if applicable, adopting new technologies is part of how we support our customers to find the best-possible solution to meet their business needs. Our AOE Tech Radar helps share an overview of software programs and current trends in web development – and our findings.

What is the AOE Tech Radar?

The AOE Tech Radar is a strategic tool designed to provide orientation in today’s complex and dynamic technology landscape. It helps IT organizations systematically assess technological developments and make informed decisions – always with a focus on sustainable innovation and risk mitigation.

The radar organizes technologies, methods, and tools into four key categories to create a comprehensive view of current trends and developments:

  • Languages & Frameworks: Programming languages and development frameworks
  • Methods & Patterns: Architectural patterns, methodologies, and best practices
  • Platform & Operations: Infrastructure, platform technologies, and operations
  • Tools: Supporting tools for development and operations

Why we created the AOE Tech Radar

New perspectives, higher differentiation & helpful orientation

Enabling better decisions in a complex tech landscape

The AOE Tech Radar offers orientation in a highly dynamic digital world. It supports IT organizations in making informed, sustainable technology decisions — creatively, not reactively.

Open Source contribution to the community

We publish the AOE Tech Radar as Open Source — empowering others to build their own radar, share insights, and strengthen decision-making across the wider tech community.

Fostering shared learning and cross-team innovation

Through open communication and continuous knowledge sharing, the radar encourages teams to reflect, learn, and innovate together — across projects, departments, and disciplines.
