Engineering Decision Guide

Which Should You Choose: course or bootstrap?

✓ Choose course If:

  • Your stack requires MDX standard tooling and runtime conventions.
  • Your team values targeted specialization.
  • You prioritize its Apache License 2.0 licensing terms for proprietary enterprise distribution.
  • You need verified maintenance cadence (6.8/25 pts in velocity).

✓ Choose bootstrap If:

  • Your application architecture is built around MDX.
  • You prefer its modular footprint and release update cadence (11.5/25 pts).
  • You want to take advantage of its documentation ecosystem (11.5/15 pts).
  • Your team is seeking active issue resolution with low maintainer stagnation.
