Application development should be as simple and efficient as possible, end to end. Developers should be free to focus on writing code, not managing infrastructure. And organizations shouldn’t have to invest in large ops teams or expend huge efforts into building internal development platforms. A single fully integrated platform should be able to work out of the box.

Open source is the optimal approach. The best outcomes come from having unrestricted access to the best frameworks and technologies. Developers should never be locked into a vendor through lengthy contracts. Or be forced to adopt proprietary frameworks and technologies with limited applications.
