However bear in mind this thinking is a slippery slope. Meaning most good CIOs,  architects, technical leads, etc shy away from betting the house on new or novel technology precisely because experience had shown them first hand the risks of jumping on the shiny new exciting well marketed technology. At a certain point however you will find that this pushes you behind the technology curve...&lt;p&gt;the engineering skill here is the ability to trade off risk vs benefit... I will tell you from my own experience the best designed software systems I have personally dealt with tend to use components somewhat behind the curve.</text></comment>

We&amp;#x27;ve been using it in production for 3+ years, and while there were certainly some issues early on, we&amp;#x27;ve had nothing but success with it (especially over the last few major versions).</text></comment>
