EntityFramework, duh. Deployment, helper scripts? PowerShell, obviously. Web services? WCF, no questions asked. Build system? Well ofcourse msbuild. Source control? Yep, TFS. Chat software? Lync, Slack is for hipsters. Server OS? Why, Windows Sever. And so on and so on. Last drop was when we needed fuzzy text search on a lot of columns, etc. Solution - well MS SQL has full text search, so we'll go with that, running on our main database which was already pushing 16 cores to 80% usage... Elasticsearch is for hipsters. /godfuckingdammit
