How to decide a technology change
A framework for evaluating technology changes by converting performance gains into concrete metrics like cost, headcount, and incident reduction. The system emphasizes comparing alternatives against current state, setting capacity budgets for tech investments, defining stop-loss conditions before starting, and using AI to accelerate analysis while maintaining human judgment. Includes practical examples like database migrations and service rewrites, with guidance on creating promotion-worthy documentation that demonstrates risk management and ROI calculations.
