Software Evaluation

Component Evaluation

As we build a complete infrastructure stack, there will be competing options on which software to choose. This document seeks to put a general framework on what things we should value and stay away from.

Easy to sell

This is a business, and selling is important. Choose software that we can sell because there’s a demand. That also means that everything needs to have a license that we can use.

  • Apache 2
  • MIT
  • BSD
  • Copyleft
  • Unlicense

Able to scale

Batteries Included provides a platform and services that scale up and down. Our expertise is distilled knowledge into the platform providing powerful answers for most clients’ questions.

Great Technical Base
