how to navigate "build versus buy"? #24

Closed dwinston closed 2 years ago

As one of the headings in the last chapter says, "You Need a Data Team". At the same time, it's nice to delegate dev and support to external expert teams.

Those who choose the build path far too often only consider the “build” part. Not the training, management, & operations for the ongoing dev team OR the onboarding, management, training, updates, new features, and support for consumers of the product. Hubris is a helluva drug.

Those who consider the "buy" path will also often fail to consider this. I've seen people buy no-code tools that consist of a complex node editor and then fail to hire anyone who understands how to use it. You still need a team to run purchased solutions.

Are there general principles you've learned for which parts of the KG design/build/maintenance activities are most important/wise to BUILD vs BUY. And conversely?
