  The choice of the tools and programming technologies for information systems
creation is relevant. For every projected system, it is necessary to define a
number of criteria for development environment, used libraries and
technologies. The paper describes the choice of technological solutions using
the example of the developed web-based platform of the Russian Academy of
Education. This platform is used to provide information support for the
activities of psychologists in their research (including population and
longitudinal researches). There are following system features: large scale and
significant amount of developing time that needs implementation and ensuring
the guaranteed computing reliability of a wide range of digital tools used in
psychological research; ensuring functioning in different environments when
conducting mass research in schools that have different characteristics of
computing resources and communication channels; possibility of services
scaling; security and privacy of data; use of technologies and programming
tools that would ensure the compatibility and conversion of data with other
tools of psychological research processing. Some criteria were introduced for
the developed system. These criteria take into account the feature of the
functioning and life cycle of the software. A specific example shows the
selection of appropriate technological solutions.
