Building an in-house cloud development environment might, at first, seem like a good idea. But building means you’re now responsible for future development investments, ongoing research, compliance, maintenance, bug fixes, platform updates, and support.

As it’s often noted: “easy to build - hard to maintain.”

On Wednesday, February 1st at 10 am PST, join us for a webinar in which Okteto CEO and Co-Founder Ramiro Berrelleza and Replicated Founder Marc Campbell discuss the pros and cons of building versus buying a cloud development platform.

In the webinar, we’ll discuss these four critical areas of consideration before you choose whether to build or buy:

-   The benefits of a secure and scalable platform that mirrors production.
-   The challenge of maintaining ongoing performance and maintenance with a homegrown solution.
-   The importance of making sure your development platform works with current standards.
-   The value of keeping your engineering teams aligned with the core business of building killer apps.

Sign up today and see you on February 1st at 10:00 am PST for the Build versus Buy Webinar.
