Estimate cost Vs. benefit

Evaluate your app’s behavior

Has your overall product improved?

Is your product more broad?

How would you rate your user experience?

STEP #4: WHICH SDKS ARE KEEPERS?

Talk with your development team members:

How easy is the SDK to maintain?

Did you experience any performance issues?

How responsive was it? How easy to implement?

Get the habit of exploring new SDKs every now and then and keep asking your fellows dev team members if they are still happy with the SDK Maintenance.

STEP #5: REVISIT YOUR DECISION

Remember: It’s not a Catholic Wedding…!

Did you and your product benefit from implementing these SDKs?

Keep asking yourself:

Do your users complain more about a specific something?

If there’s a cost, is it one you can afford, now that you know exactly what you’re getting?

It’s always a good practice to revisit your SDK decisions. Hey, that’s evolution!
