Our Analytics Radar is a practical and collaborative guide that helps colleagues and teams navigate new technologies, libraries, and software solutions. It provides a structured expert assessment of tools and applications that may be relevant for us, including classification into labels such as “Adopt” or “Assess” (more on this in the next section below). The focus is not on universal recommendations or completeness, but on concrete experience from our day-to-day work.

We invite everyone to contribute their assessments and practical experience: feedback is explicitly welcome and essential for the further development of the Radar. The process is deliberately open. Every few weeks, we focus on a specific topic area and regularly revisit all topics to reassess and further develop them. Our focus is on open-source solutions or technologies that have already been purchased, such as Snowflake or GCP. Purchasing advice or bans are not part of the Radar.

The goal is a living, collectively supported tool that provides orientation without being restrictive. A Radar that grows with us and continuously evolves.
