Toolchain comparison
- 15 July 2025
At some point, every project faces the challenge of selecting a tool or, as systems become more complex, an entire toolchain. Choosing a toolchain also means deciding against one or more alternatives. Unfortunately, these decisions are often based on subjective criteria rather than objective facts: personal experience, missing features, anecdotal success stories from other teams, or simply a lack of access to comprehensive information and user requirements.
This article presents a toolchain comparison spreadsheet, free of charge and open for modification and internal use. It is prefilled with tools from the docs-as-code ecosystem and, most importantly, includes over 160 user requirements collected from automotive software projects (150–1,500 users) over recent years.
