Cost & Evaluation
How can I evaluate the cost of vendor lock-in when choosing a managed durable execution service?
Assess lock-in by estimating the effort to migrate execution state, event histories, and workflow definitions to an alternative platform or self-hosted solution. The mechanism includes proprietary SDK integrations, custom serialization, and replay semantics that may not be portable. Caveat: lock-in risks are lower if the platform supports open standards like Dapr and exports portable execution records; otherwise, migration may require full reimplementation.
