| Most backend platform comparisons focus on features: which authentication methods are supported, how the database query API works, whether there's a serverless functions layer. These are the wrong questions to lead with. | ||
|
|
||
| Features are table stakes. What actually determines whether a backend dependency was a good decision three years from now is whether the platform is still maintained, still trustworthy, and still something you can get off if you need to. Evaluating for longevity requires a different set of questions. |

"table stakes" is not a term a lot of people will understand xD

| # The real cost of a platform that doesn't last | ||
|
|
||
| When a backend platform is deprecated, acquired and sunset, or abandoned by its maintainers, the teams built on it absorb the full migration cost. That cost is rarely just "update your imports." It means migrating data out of proprietary formats, rewriting authentication flows, rebuilding API integrations, and doing all of it while your production application continues to serve users. |

We need slightly better context setting for that first sentence
Maybe even a little simplification

| # Assess the bus factor | ||
|
|
||
| **Bus factor** refers to how many contributors would need to be hit by a bus before the project stalls. A project maintained by a single person is fundamentally higher risk than one with a team of active contributors, even if the solo maintainer is prolific. |

I'd mention how this has been mentioned in the context of the software industry in the past
Then talk about the concerns of a low bus factor for any team and then correlate with OSS
Otherwise this can be a little too harsh xD

No Sites mention?
This is a frequent issue and should be looked out for in advance
