Working with DevStackDecider
DevStackDecider is a new publication comparing developer platform services, starting with observability.
Corrections are free
If something we publish is wrong or out of date, tell us. Factual errors are corrected whoever reports them, whether or not there is any commercial relationship. Reporting an error does not earn a listing, a link or inclusion.
Matrix listing is free
The capability matrix lists products whose capabilities are publicly documented. Listing, the values shown and the order of rows follow our methodology and cannot be bought.
Independent coverage
We choose what to cover. When we add a product to a comparison on our own initiative, nobody pays for it.
Requested editorial inclusion
When a vendor asks to be added to a comparison, category page or shortlist, or to be covered more fully, that is normally a paid, disclosed commercial service, and only where it genuinely fits the page. Formats include a contextual mention, a sponsored linked mention, a comparison-table addition, a fuller editorial addition, a labelled sponsored section or, where appropriate, a sponsored article. Paid placements are labelled and their links use rel="sponsored". Payment buys an agreed, disclosed format, not eligibility, a favourable conclusion or guaranteed wording.
Category and data sponsorship
A sponsor can support a category or the matrix with a clearly labelled "supported by" acknowledgement. Sponsorship never changes rankings, matrix values, scores, inclusion eligibility or which competitors appear.
Other disclosed formats
- Affiliate relationships, marked on the page.
- Trial access used to check a documented fact. Access never guarantees coverage.
Not for sale
Rankings, "choose this if" recommendations, winner or best-overall labels, verdicts, matrix data, unsupported claims, removal of competitors and search-engine link value.
