# DownloadBuild vs Buy Consideration Framework

## How to Use This Framework

Deciding whether to build your own dev environment in-house or buy a solution is a HUGE decision. This framework will help you think through all the necessary considerations to make the best decision.

It includes important questions like:

-   What is the opportunity cost of using your developers to maintain a homegrown solution instead of delivering value?
-   Can you provide ongoing bug fixes, maintenance, and platform updates at scale?
-   Is it easy for both Kubernetes pros and newbies to collaborate?
-   Do you have the bandwidth and budget to fix issues at scale when they break this year, next year and going forward?
-   How much money are you wasting having your developers deal daily with homegrown-related administrative issues?
-   Can non-engineering teams provide feedback and collaborate?
-   Does your solution mirror production with digital twin accuracy?
-   and many more key considerations!

Download the Framework today and feel confident that you're making an informed decision that will help your company scale and grow.
