The Hidden Cost of Open Source
summary
An actionable five-step process for open-source EOL: form a cross-functional team with security, QA, engineering and product and meet monthly or quarterly; take an inventory and rank libraries by criticality; check end-of-support dates on endoflife.date; estimate scope, testing, training and time for each upgrade — one startup delayed a release for eight weeks; waiting can force a multimillion dollar migration or you can buy commercial extended support or vendor maintenance.
