What Hacker News says?
Tesla decided a few years ago to replace SAP with something they built themself https://www.mendix.com/blog/tesla-cio-builds-erp-house-4-mon... I love this story, it really isn't that hard to replace SAP once you know the requirements.

HN discussionI mostly agree with you. As an independent professional, I hate complete ecosystem platforms also. We need composable systems. Not more locked down. Mendix ( https://www.mendix.com ) does a lot of that well but as you pointed out it's proprietary. If we look at history, successful predecessors like C, Java and Python (sorted by difficulty) are all open standards. I think the next low/no code platform to open their s…
