The cost of convenience: Five tips for choosing between proprietary or open-source technologies

How can a successful enterprise choose an open-source technology when the community that’s behind it could suddenly lose interest? This could result in the tech stack becoming a technical debt and a growing risk to the IT operations team. It’s an understandable concern. But the potential for risk is outweighed by the reward, providing freedom from vendor lock-in and, in some cases, avoiding large proprietary licenses.

Watch experts engage in a thoughtful conversation on the philosophy behind open source with tales from real-world customer interactions.
