About Development Choices
Development Choices publishes reference material on the technical decisions development teams have to make. Each page states what an option costs, where it breaks down, and which situation it suits, so a reader can reach a decision without assembling the evidence themselves from scratch.
What this site is
Development Choices publishes reference material about the decisions that come up when building and running software: which of two comparable tools to adopt, what a migration actually costs, where an approach stops scaling, and when the unexciting option is the correct one.
The material is organised into categories, each collecting closely related pages, so a question can be answered without reading the whole site.
How it is written
Pages state their facts plainly and say where those facts come from. Where a page makes a claim about cost, performance or behaviour, it names the source and the date, because that kind of claim goes stale. Every page shows when it was last updated.
Articles are written by named people with relevant experience, and each carries a byline linking to that author’s own page. Structural pages like this one are published by the site itself rather than attributed to an individual.
Who publishes it
