About this Technology Radar

Welcome! You're looking at a live showcase of the open-source Porsche Digital Technology Radar Generator. Everything here — the radar in the center, the segment views, the detail pages, the search, the theming, the changelog — is a feature you get out of the box. The entries are illustrative, so feel free to click anything and explore.

How to read the radar

Every entry on the radar is a blip. Each blip has two coordinates:

• Segment (the slice of the circle): the area of practice it belongs to, e.g. Languages & Frameworks, Infrastructure, or Data & AI.
• Ring (the distance from the center): the current recommendation.
  • Adopt: proven in production; safe default for new work.
  • Trial: worth pursuing; use in non-critical projects to build experience.
  • Assess: interesting; explore in spikes or proofs of concept.
  • Hold: do not start new work with this; migrate away when practical.

Click a blip to open its detail page with the full description, tags, teams, links, and a complete revision history. Use the search and filter controls to narrow things down by name, tag, team, or status. The changelog shows what moved between releases at a glance.

The structure of the radar (segments, rings, labels, colors, branding) is fully configurable per instance and may evolve over time.

🎨 Try the theme switcher

This radar is fully themeable — and you can try it right now without setting anything up:

• 🎨 Open the Spotlight command palette to pick a different theme — that's where the look-and-feel lives. Press ⌘K (macOS) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) to open it, then type > to switch into action mode and search for theme. The header toggle next to it flips light and dark for the active theme.
• 🎁 Seven built-in themes are bundled out of the box — Neutral, Porsche, Porsche Heritage, Blueprint, Matrix, Solarized, and Synthwave — to demonstrate the range from corporate-restrained to retro-neon. Most ship with both light and dark variants; a few are intentionally single-mode (Blueprint light-only, Matrix dark-only).

What the generator gives you

The Technology Radar Generator is an open-source tool for teams who want their own radar without building the platform themselves. Out of the box you get:

• 🚀 Scaffold in one command — starter content, dev server, and build scripts included
• 🏷️ Configurable taxonomy — define your own segments, rings, labels, and colors
• 🎨 Custom theming — seven built-in themes plus a documented manifest.jsonc template for your own
• 🌗 Theme × mode — light/dark variants where the theme provides them, plus header toggle and Spotlight controls
• 📡 Radar visualization — interactive overview with segment and ring layout
• 📄 Technology detail pages — each entry gets its own page with full context
• 🔍 Search and filters — find technologies by name, tag, team, or status
• 📜 Revision history — track how assessments change across releases
• 📋 Changelog — see what moved between releases at a glance
• 🖼️ Open Graph images — every radar entry gets a shareable preview card
• 📸 Radar image export — download the full radar visualization as a PNG
• ☁️ Static export — deploy to GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify, or any static host
• 🗂️ Content as code — radar entries live in Git, changes go through pull requests

Spin up your own

You only need Node.js 22+ to get started:

npm create @porscheofficial/techradar my-radar
cd my-radar
npm run dev

Then:

1. Add technologies as Markdown files under radar/.
2. Configure segments, rings, and labels in config.json.
3. Pick a built-in theme or copy themes/.example/ to themes/<your-theme>/manifest.jsonc and customize colors, chips, logos, and background art (each theme can also provide light and dark mode variants).
4. Edit about.md to make this very page your own.
5. Run npm run build and publish the static build/ directory anywhere.

The scaffolder also works with pnpm create, yarn create, and bun create.

See the project README for full configuration and front-matter documentation.
