Not if it’s open data and people can easily move their data between vendors

That's the dream right, how often is that true? Seems like this should be a leading indicator for picking a SaaS!

  This is a legal requirement of GDPR, no? https://gdpr-info.eu/art-20-gdpr/ https://gdpr-info.eu/art-20-gdpr/

    Edit: I am wrong. AFIAK GDPR only applies if you're profitable, otherwise a fine on revenue ... pre-revenue isn't applicable.

      I don't see anything about revenue here https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/rules-business-and-organisations/application-regulation/who-does-data-protection-law-apply_en https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/r...

        You're right, I read it a few years ago, and my knowledge is incorrect. I thought the fine was only a percentage of revenue if you're above $10M, or something along those lines.

      The GDPR always applies regardless of whether a company is profitable or not. But it covers only personal data/sensible data, not "all data".

  Finding just the right way to tell management it's time to re-architect the monolith and move into infra-as-code to become agnostic is the dream.

Not once have I ever seen this happen

  It's so rare, and apparently so unimportant, that I've never seen it as part of the marketing strategy.

  Supabase. Big part of why they're heavily adopted. The only issue is that when their client gets big, they usually tend to leave Supabase for more proprietary hosting.

  Allegedly Allscripts (now Veradigm) made their flagship products interoperable, the idea being that customers could choose to buy a giant ecosystem from them, or they could bolt on small solutions onto the giant monoliths that were their competition (like EPIC) and presumably get some revenue they weren't going to get otherwise. Now - I never was tasked with actually using their software while I worked there, that was just the talking point in the town halls and all hands and such. Being able to export/import was part of that interoperability goal.
