ALM Roundtable 2024 Tech Radar

This technology radar was created at our ALM Roundtable 2024 event on September 17th, 2024. We had a great mix of people from different industries and roles in the audience to share our thoughts on the current state of technology.

Thanks to all attendees for their contributions!! 🎉

Generated Radar

See the generated radar here: https://engineering-methods.github.io/alm_roundtable_techradar/

It is build automatically from this repository.

Usage / Anatomy

In the folder radar the radars are stored.

Each subfolder, e.g. 2024-09-17 represents a radar and markdown files in it represent blips.

Each blip mardown file has to have a markdown frontmatter and the full text description for the blip:

---
title: "Blip Name"
ring: ring-name
quadrant: quadrant-name
tags: [ comma-separated-tags ]
---

Description text here... can be any markdown text...
use links to the homepages of the technologies and techniques to make the descriptions more interactive.

Editing

No need to checkout the code, just hit . (point) in the gitlab/github repo main page to start a browser based visual studio code instance and edit the full repo right there.

Alternatively you can go to a blips' detail screen by clicking on it and click the edit button in the top right corner. This will lead you right to the file in a browser vscode instance.

When you check into main the pipeline will automatically build the radar and publish it to gitlab pages.

Is there still a reason to check this repo out?

Yes, in a local Vscode instance you can have useful extensions like perkovec.emoji or github.copilot (which is a great help in writing descriptions).

Development

To build the radar locally:

• clone this repo

• open in vscode

• open devcontainer

• run:

  npm install
  npm run build # build output is in ./build then... run npm run serve for testing

These two commands are also utilized in the pipeline.
