“Too many cooks spoil the broth.” It’s an old saying we’ve heard many times in childhood.

In the era of technology defined by cloud computing, features evolve at the blinding speed of continuous deployment. When large software development organizations like Microsoft deliver semi-annual releases of products, like SQL Server, the volume of new features can be so large they can be hard to grasp. Microsoft continues to push the boundaries on what’s possible, both in on-premises and cloud data platforms, and they aim to make the life of data professionals much more manageable.

Demand exceeded supply.

Like most large software development organizations, SolarWinds uses many programming languages to build our applications, including Go, Java, C++, Python, and more. The predominant language for our Orion® Platform is C#, based on Microsoft’s.NET Framework. As you are likely aware, the directions Microsoft has taken the.NET Framework over the past few years have created exciting new opportunities.
