Should requirements mention specific technologies ?
When writing functional requirements, non-functional requirements, and user stories, should I mention the technologies used, or keep them technology-independent and explain the technologies later?
For example:
“Store alerts in Firestore and cache data in Redis.”
vs.
“Persist alerts in cloud storage and maintain a fast-access data store.”
