I’ve started developing a website in ASP.NET MVC and have taken part in the BizSpark program. The only part that concerns me is the licensing cost of SQL Server Enterprise after the three year period is up.
Given this cost, and the potential outcome that this product may not ‘take off’; should I rewrite the application in a ‘free’ platform such as Ruby on Rails or Java?
You can use SQL Server Express even in production IIRC. Alternatively, use ASP.NET MVC but with a free database such as Postgres or Mysql.
You’re not forced to choose between “everything Microsoft” and “nothing Microsoft”.
