Open Source
Open-source is software whose source code is made available for use or modification as users or other developers see fit.

What is open source good for?
Community
Open-source communities usually offer a wide range of active contributors, from individuals to large-scale organizations, ensuring that there is a wide pool of people that can work on your project.
Ease of Deployment
Open-source communities often offer ready-to-use frameworks in several programming languages, as well as the ability to build off existing projects to get started quickly.
Flexibility
Open-source projects let you customize solutions to fit your exact needs while preventing lock-in to any specific vendor and being constantly updated by the community working on them.
