Selecting the best technology platform

In a rapid and competitive market, the biggest challenge is maintaining the use of the best technologies. Today, when you have multiple resources all around the world, then you have to choose a technology very carefully. The solution architecture design process can effectively tackle this problem.

The selection of the technology stack plays a significant role in efficient solution implementation by the team. In solution architecture, we should use different strategies to adopt various platforms, technologies, and tools. A solution architect should validate all of the needs carefully, and then evaluate and investigate the result with multiple parameters in order to find the best-fit solution for the product development, by creating a working model of the product as a prototype.

A good solution architecture addresses the depth of different tools and technologies by investigating all possible architectural strategies, based on the mixed-use case, techniques, tools, and code reuse, which comes from years of experience. The best platform simplifies the implementation process; however, the right technology selection is very critical. This can be achieved by building a prototype according to the business requirement assessment, and the agility, speed, and security of the application.
