Hi ricardobeat, you just perfectly touched on our CTO's main concern. :) Although we are not a large organization (we are a 3 people team), we have a few technologies around.
Most of that was urged by me the CEO. Some, admittedly motivated by a "red shiny object" syndrome.
We use Coolify to accelerate deployment (atop of Azure), so it does not interfere with Bolt and Lovable.
Our backend developer used Bolt in that past to built frontends for his backends. I use Lovable primarily as an alternative to Figma, i. e. for communication new ideas. None of that ends up in the production product (here we use Cursor mainly).
v0 is in asses because we heard good things about their full-stack capabilities (something that Lovable/Bolt cannot really do).
The goal of a tech radar is to map out and try to contain the chaos in a large organization, so you don’t end up with seven teams adopting different technologies, and the evaluation process is more structured. Only one of those should have made it to adoption unless they serve wildly different purposes?
