The Kyma developers need to select specific technologies. Their purpose is to:
- Enable the most lightweight solution and cost-effective solution for the cluster installation.
- Facilitate the cross-teams collaboration development.
- Enable easy context-switching between teams.
The decision is to use the Go language for all new implementations in Kyma. Go allows to create very efficient applications with low memory usage and a vast set of system libraries. Many projects which Kyma depends on are written in Go, including Kubernetes.
Use the following frontend technologies within Kyma:
- Open UI5
- Angular (version 4 and later)
- React
The recommended technologies fulfill the Kyma principles.
Accepted on 2017-11-20.
Use the technologies listed in this document as the first choice for all Kyma implementations. However, if you have a good reason to extend the list with a new technology which fulfills the Kyma principles, suggest it to the Kyma team and request their approval.
The list of backing services technologies is not yet definitive.
