Is vendor lock in really that significant, though? If it is to an organization I see that more as a management failing than a technology failing. An example of where I'm coming from: https://www.outsystems.com/blog/posts/vendor-lock-in/ https://www.outsystems.com/blog/posts/vendor-lock-in/ I think past vendor lock in wasn't so much about the technologies involved, but the inability of organizations to transform. If you have the right approach to application development/deployment/management there isn't a way any vendor can lock you in for any significant amount of time. I see more people wasting resources developing to avoid lock in when the applications they are developing won't live long enough to ever worry about having to move off of the systems they are developed on. I'm not saying we should never be concerned about vendor lock in, but I think the concerns need to be balanced against the costs (and complexity!) of engineering everything to be immune from "vendor lock in".
