We Didn’t Stop to Ask If We Should: Understanding Build vs. Buy
Architecture, Business
We were so preoccupied with whether we could, we didn’t stop to think if we should! Before debating React vs. Angular or .NET vs Node, we must ask ourselves, should we even build this? Whether you’re an entrepreneur launching a new project, an enterprise developer stuck integrating middleware, or a architect moving logic to the cloud, you’re making decisions that will have lasting consequences. Deciding which problems are worth your investment is at the root of success or failure.
Join us as we dig into real case studies from enterprises and startups. We’ll explore the options, costs, and risks inherent in deciding what to build, what to buy, and alternatives in between. We’ll consider the opportunity cost of building systems, the sustainability of open-source, and the risks of vendor lock-in. You’ll leave equipped to make better decisions in your daily development and solve the problems that matter.
@taylonr, @kwelch: I like it, I've heard the case study preference before. I reworded to bring it up to the top of the 2nd paragraph. Thank you!!
