Got a technical problem to solve? Analysing data? Machine learning! Deploying code? Spin up a Kubernetes cluster! Need a web app? Jump into React! Sharing information? Crank up a blockchain!
Not so fast! All technologies have their positives and negatives, and their applicability, costs and benefits vary greatly based on the problem they’re applied to and particularly the scale of that problem.
So consider the options carefully - Cassandra vs RDS vs MySQL vs sqlite? Kubernetes cluster vs EC2 vs hosted server? Each decision is critical - avoid the lure of the cargo cult.
Having trouble making a call on which technologies to use in your startup? Need some help evaluating the options, keeping costs low while you start, while being ready to scale? Get in touch with Pixiotix and get considered, independent, practical advice on these problems and more.
