TripAdvisor had a very strong “no lock in” policy that impacted the technical stacks we could keep/choose when we got bought by them.

We could use an nginx installed and maintained on EC2 by ourselves but not the AWS flavor on it, or I guess we’d have needed to fight to get an exception.

That’s just an anecdote, but I am sure more companies put real money behind getting “locked in”.

Did avoiding lock in do anything as far as making them more competitive in the marketplace?

How many man hours was spent babysitting infrastructure?
