Careful with this one too. Usually adding new features to adapt to a changing marketplace can have new requirements across many of your services that need to be finished quickly. If those services are each in a different language, it can slow everything down by weeks or months.

Multiple platforms is not a problem and generally a good thing as long as it's not excessive. You don't want to be in a case where you have the same number of different platforms as developers or anything like that. I'm guessing there is a rule of thumb here, but I'm not sure what it would be. Max 1 different platform per 5 developers? Something like that.
