Choose tools based on your team's needs, technical constraints, and long-term goals. Don't just follow trends.
Don't over-engineer: Start simple and add complexity only when needed.
Avoid tool sprawl: Too many tools can create more problems than they solve.
Consider maintenance: Every tool requires ongoing maintenance and updates.
