What sits in Guides

Every guide here ranks several platforms against one defined job, and names the job before the list starts. None assumes a single winner, because the right platform depends on the team buying it.

How to read a ranking here

Order is set by fit against the stated use case, not by overall popularity. A platform placed fourth for one job may lead a different guide entirely. Where a guide covers a platform we consider weaker for the stated job, it says so and says why.
