Vendor Lock-in

intermediate
business

Definition

When you become dependent on a specific cloud provider's proprietary services and switching to another provider becomes difficult or expensive. Like building your house with custom parts that only work with one supplier.

Real-World Example

Using AWS-specific services like DynamoDB and Lambda heavily can create vendor lock-in, making it costly to move to Azure or Google Cloud later.
