PostgreSQL and MySQL are listed as SQL options; Elasticsearch and MongoDB are listed as NoSQL options. Each pair is grouped as alternatives within its category.
Jira and Confluence are listed under the requirements section with 'familiarity with' language, which is softer than firm gating language, but they appear explicitly in the Requirements block — treated as hard gates accordingly.
Git is listed under requirements with 'familiarity with' language but appears in the Requirements block; treated as a hard gate.
