Curious what on that list you consider shiny and new? Every one of these projects have been widely adopted, through multiple release cycles, and are considered stable.

- Ruby - 22 years old

- Rails - 11 years old

- NodeJS - 8 years old

- ReactJS - 4 years old

- Redis - 8 yrs old

- StatsD - around 6 yrs old

- Terraform - around 3 yrs old, arguably our most "shiny tool" but also has little production responsibility once an environment has been configured

- Ansible - 5 yrs old

- Grape - 7 yrs old

- Express - 6 yrs old

- Postgres - 21 yrs old

- MongoDB - 8 yrs old

- Docker - 4 yrs old, maybe our second most shiny tool. But at this point Docker is well support and considered stable. We run it on ECS and generally trust the stability of AWS services.
