Vendor lock-in is an unavoidable cost of doing business. Even if you build literally everything yourself, which you shouldn&#x27;t, you still have resources, processes, apis, automation, expertise amassed around a specific set of operating constraints.<p>Not only that, but if you invest significantly in any single technology, migrating to another technology is always going to be an extreme effort. Having led migrations from datacenters to AWS, AWS to Digital Ocean, RabbitMQ to NSQ to SNS+SQS, etc., I can say at this point that I do not believe in vendor lock-in as a legitimate reason to disqualify any particular solution.
