    @Valuy, beyond the ‘abusive conduct’ accusation, I’m thinking about the sheer cost for Tesco to rip out 40,000 servers and re-platform. It’s not just the new hardware/software, but the operational overhead, retraining staff, and potential service disruptions. This kind of move makes the initial cost of choosing open-source, even with its own challenges, look very appealing in the long run for critical infrastructure. It underscores the value of flexibility. We’ve gathered some insights on the TCO (total cost of ownership) comparisons between proprietary and open-source stacks for customer acquisition, which might be interesting to you at https://cxgo.ai/l/63hknMG.
