Ask HN: As a startup, should you open source your internal tools?
2 by gfarah | 0 comments on Hacker News.
On my startup (fintech), our team has built a couple of tools/frameworks for internal use that we consider cool and possibly useful for other people. E.g., We built a tool that dynamically creates a testing environment using Lambda, RDS and Fargate of our backend codebase and makes it available to a Flutter UI test suite deployed in Firebase Test Lab. We would like to release these tools/frameworks open source, but we are a bit afraid of how much time it might consume from us. Has anyone had experience with a situation like this? If so, how did it go?
