Continuously building Tailor made Drupal Commerce while still being open source friendly

Building solutions on top of open source software saves time. But it comes with a cost as well. Keeping the codebase up to date, while fixing problems in custom code can be tedious and frustrating. One might even think that things would be so much simpler if we just forked it all, and kept bugfixes in-house. As your tailor made site goes from off the shelf modules, to a range of custom modules, the open source abandonment might be even more tempting. As you might understand from the title, I want to make the case about the opposite!

There are technical solutions to these problems. And through cultural enforcements, discipline and great tooling, we can actually be more confident in a growing custom codebase, while being more contributing to open source!
