The power of periodic tables

In chemistry class we all had (assumption) to learn the periodic table of elements. I think it’s about five years ago when I first spotted a periodic table that didn’t loo quite like the thing that I learned at school.

The concept was copied to a table with DevOps tools by XebiaLabs. Today, the periodic table of DevOps tools is published by Digital.ai. But the concept is spreading. For good reasons, since it provides a comprehensive method to view different technology solutions in IT and cloud. The best ones are interactive; allow for selection per group and providing more information per product or service by clicking on a tile. 

On this page I collected the most relevant ones in my opinion. Obviously starting with the original, the one for DevOps tools.
