In today's fast-paced development landscape, the choice between buying a pre-built platform or building your own can be a critical one. This talk explores the key factors influencing this decision. We'll delve into the advantages of buying a platform, such as faster time-to-market, reduced development burden, and access to pre-built functionalities. Conversely, we'll also analyze the benefits of building your own platform, including complete control over features and seamless integration with existing systems. This presentation aims to equip you with a clear framework for evaluating your specific needs and resources, ultimately guiding you toward the optimal approach for a streamlined and efficient development workflow.
