Mission

The AI-Native SDLC project aims to provide comprehensive, practical guidance for organizations adopting AI-powered software development practices. We believe that AI is not just a tool, but a fundamental shift in how software is conceived, developed, and maintained.

Why This Project?

As AI tools rapidly evolve, organizations struggle to:

  • Compare and select appropriate tools
  • Implement AI across their development lifecycle
  • Maintain security and governance
  • Measure ROI and justify investments
  • Train teams effectively

This resource addresses these challenges with:

  • Unbiased comparisons of 45+ AI coding assistants
  • Practical methodologies tested in real projects
  • Enterprise-ready frameworks for governance and security
  • Measurable outcomes with clear ROI calculations

Project Origins

This project emerged from hands-on experience implementing AI-native development practices across various organizations. The methodologies and recommendations are based on:

  • Real-world implementations
  • Extensive tool evaluations
  • Community feedback
  • Industry best practices

Key Principles

1. Vendor Neutral

We maintain independence from tool vendors to provide unbiased comparisons and recommendations.

2. Evidence-Based

All claims are backed by data, real implementations, or documented sources.

3. Practical Focus

Theory is important, but we emphasize actionable guidance that teams can implement immediately.

4. Continuous Evolution

The AI landscape changes rapidly. This resource is continuously updated to reflect new tools and practices.
