If a vendor that you’re already familiar with unveils a new software tool, do you adopt it immediately or wait to see if any bugs or problems arise?

Only if it solves a problem I have already identified.

I would wait to assess if any bugs or issues arise before considering adoption.

Do you mean Featrue or bard new tool?  From my point of view it will depend, what kind of access the tool has, what happened to data and etc, , so basically it depends :)

Thoughts on self-healing applications? Any approaches or tools that look promising to you?

Does someone have advice on how they have balanced the risk/reward as it relates to introducing Open-Source Software to organization? My org is dipping its toe into the OSS world and the architecture and risk governance teams are looking to get ahead of these requests by coming up with policies and standards for OSS technology being brought into our environment. To clarify, this is not for software development and CI/CD pipelines, SDLC etc. This is for installing solutions that already exist out there (Zabbix, GreyLog, Prometheus etc.) into the organization's environment. We are looking to provide a balance on the obvious risk with the ability to move fast (like everyone else now).
