Abstract
Whenever a new project is starting, there are several important decisions that might seem trivial but can highly impact the future of the project. Although someone might jump at you with an answer for them, the truth is that it’s never as simple as “use this” or “use that.” As with anything in software development, there are several trade-offs that need to be made and things to be considered. Whenever making a decision, you should know about the trade-offs so they don’t catch you off guard in the future!
