> According to the president, Indonesia's central and regional governments together operate a fleet of 27,000 apps, many of which overlap or aren't integrated.

  I'm guessing lucrative contracts are handed out to well-connected people for app development, most of which aren't used.

  Population of 280 million. So about 10k users per app... Not actually that weird if you think of scale.

  As an Indonesian working as a software developer, I can say that integration is more akin to a jargon than something actually planned and properly implemented here in Indonesia. The apps number continue to grow because almost every time the head of an institution changes (on whatever level it is), the new one would be more likely to create a new app from scratch as a form of achievement.

    I thought they'd just make new apps because the previous vendor lock-in made it too expensive to modify it.
