The problem with this is if you are anything more than a small company, it's pretty hard to get authorisation and approval to pay for software. A couple of years ago I was working for a UN organisation, and to get approval to upgrade our plan of an alerting tool from something like $10/mo to $25/mo required many people involved and weeks of time (not weeks of people time, but weeks from 'we want this' to 'ok'). For something new we would have to evaluate it against other competing products, and then it's just a waste of everyone's time, instead of 'gem install sidekiq'. Admittedly not every company/organisation is this extreme, but once you get to a certain size most companies have something like this. (I felt we paid our dues to the open source community as we open sourced a lot of our own in house tools and helped maintain a lot of other projects we regularly used)
