The Great Software Debate: Buying vs Building Solutions

Build or buy?

In the world of software development, the "build or buy" question is one that companies must frequently face. When it comes to deciding whether to build a software solution in-house or purchase an existing one, there are many factors to consider.

In this week's episode, we're joined by Kyle Rockman, Platform Engineering Lead at OpsLevel, to discuss how companies can develop a framework to approach the build vs. buy decision.

The decision to build or buy a software solution depends on a variety of factors, including the specific needs of the company, the available resources, and the ROI of each option. By taking a thoughtful and thorough approach to the build vs. buy decision, companies can make informed decisions that will set them up for success in the long run.

Join as we discuss:

• Forming a centralized location of all options
• The pros and cons of each open source and vendor solution
• The ROI of buying vendor solutions compared to open source
