Initial setup is only part of the equation. You must now maintain everything you setup or forked. I predict you have many hours of repair, patching, migrations and upgrades ahead of you not to mention any downtime suffered because you can't put in as much effort into making these systems as robust as your main product/service.
On the other hand, I was always taught "cash is king" in entrepreneurship. It's the easiest to spend and the hardest to make. Besides, if you are a start-up and don't have it...hacking something together is your only option.
- joshowens 13y agocanterburry, Thanks for the comments. We have actually been running a lot of this setup for 1.5 months now with no real time spent on repair/patching, etc. To be fair, we are using heroku for most of the open source apps, which makes it a little easier to deal with.
