Vendor Agnostic Architecture vs Vendor Lock-In
Developers should adopt this architecture when building systems that require long-term maintainability, cost control, or integration with multiple external services, such as in enterprise applications, cloud migrations, or multi-cloud deployments meets developers should understand vendor lock-in to make informed decisions when selecting technologies, especially for long-term projects or cloud deployments. Here's our take.
