What Is Vendor Lock-In?

Vendor lock-in is when switching providers becomes prohibitively expensive or complex:

  • Using proprietary services (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions)
  • No infrastructure documentation
  • Custom integrations that don’t port
  • Long-term contracts

Why This Matters

  • 47% of businesses worry about cloud vendor lock-in
  • Average switching cost: €15,000-€35,000
  • Time to switch: 3-6 months typically
  • Some companies are effectively trapped forever
