[Verse 1]
Your app sits trapped in Apple's garden walls
Google's playground holds your keys
One store rejection and your revenue falls
Platform gods control your destiny
Vendor lock-in whispers sweet at first
Cloud managed services shine so bright
Till migration costs reveal the worst
You're handcuffed to their oversight
[Chorus]
Build bridges not walls, abstract the pain away
Ports and adapters keep dependencies at bay
Feature flags ready for the regulatory storm
Multi-region heartbeat keeps your systems warm
Bridges not walls, bridges not walls
When the single point of failure calls
[Verse 2]
Proprietary runners spin your code
CI pipelines owned by someone else
One policy shift blocks your road
Can't build without their corporate help
Design interfaces provider-blind
Wrap their SDK in your own skin
When borders close or laws bind
Switch backends with a simple spin
[Chorus]
Build bridges not walls, abstract the pain away
Ports and adapters keep dependencies at bay
Feature flags ready for the regulatory storm
Multi-region heartbeat keeps your systems warm
Bridges not walls, bridges not walls
When the single point of failure calls
[Bridge]
Cache artifacts like buried treasure
Offline builds when networks sever
Disaster recovery cross-provider
Geographic spread makes you a survivor
[Verse 3]
Abstraction layers shield the blast
When sanctions hit or regions fall
Your architecture's built to last
One vendor dies, you've got them all
Toggle switches kill compliance risk
Features fade with legal threats
Backup plans move swift and brisk
Redundancy pays all debts
[Chorus]
Build bridges not walls, abstract the pain away
Ports and adapters keep dependencies at bay
Feature flags ready for the regulatory storm
Multi-region heartbeat keeps your systems warm
Bridges not walls, bridges not walls
When the single point of failure calls
[Outro]
Design for chaos, code for change
Keep your options wide and strange
