How have you successfully / unsuccessfully tackled this?
For too long, I got paralyzed by having too many choices – from NLP frameworks, to databases, and even CMS. The time it took me to read about all, overthink, wait, finally decide, was so long, it just is better to try a few key choices, and not overoptimize.
Obviously, it depends on whether or not you are building a side hustle or a regulated product... But generally, read enough to be aware of key options, pick a subset that makes sense (and perhaps a wildcard), implement PoCs, check them against your key metrics (latency, readability, maintainability, code to deploy times, vendor lock-in, or whatever else matters to you today and tomorrow, not three years down the line when you may perhaps hypothetically need to scale).
