Vendor lock-in occurs when the cost of switching to a different vendor is so high that the customer is essentially stuck with the original vendor.
Vendor lock-in can create significant challenges in data portability, making it hard to transfer your data and processes to a different provider.
This can be achieved by using open-source software, which is freely available to the public and customized to meet specific needs. This frees you from dependence on a particular provider's ecosystem. Additionally, opting for applications built with portability ensures greater flexibility and reduces the risk of vendor lock-in.
