What the rings mean
- Adopt Use it. Stable, updated in the last 6 months, lots of people use it.
- Trial Try it. Still young (before 1.0), or quiet for 6 to 18 months, or few users yet.
- Assess Watch it. Brand new, less than a year old.
- Hold Avoid for now. Dead, deprecated, or no update in 18 months.
The big, real systems checks are left out: they are about containers and services and do not apply to these tools.
Easy to use and Big, real systems count the checks each tool meets, 10 points each; the ticks below show which. Maturity comes from the Adoption Radar rules: release age, version and last update. The two scores come from a checklist written for local development with containers and services, so for tools outside that world, like package managers, read them lightly.
