Entraspan has had a very good track record of recognizing lasting technologies early and reaping early benefits while also recognizing the hype and avoiding costly rewrites. Over time technologies come into favor and drop out as the industry changes and there are a few technologies that we shall never mention gain. This includes software architectures, third-party libraries, methods, and services. For example Entraspan was an early adopter of the Cassandra no sql database before it was fully implemented based on the white-papers, the backing, the architecture and the software base.
