**Can a combination of open-source technologies offer a viable alternative to an integrated hyperscaler platform? In this master’s thesis, you will investigate how to systematically compare both approaches, focusing on functional coverage and integration effort.
**

Organizations increasingly question their dependence on hyperscalers due to concerns about cost, vendor lock-in and digital sovereignty. Hyperscalers offer a range of capabilities through a single, integrated platform. Open-source projects offer similar capabilities, but individual projects typically focus on specific capabilities and come with their own interfaces and conventions. Combining them requires organizations to manage the integration themselves.

However, systematically comparing both approaches remains challenging. It is not always clear how much functionality a composed open-source stack can cover or how much integration effort is required to match a hyperscaler.

## The Assignment

Investigate which factors determine whether a composed open-source stack can provide comparable functional coverage to an integrated hyperscaler platform, and develop and validate a systematic method for assessing the associated integration effort. You choose a capability domain (for example, identity, messaging, or observability) and define how to measure coverage and effort. You design the research approach and justify your choices. Your results should help organizations decide when each approach is the better fit.

Your main contribution is new knowledge, not a working platform. This could be a method to compare both approaches systematically, an explanation of what drives integration complexity, or insights into the effort needed to maintain and evolve a composed stack over time.
