Since the last episode, when I mentioned we use Mitro as a service, the creators of mitro have decided to shut that service down. What does that mean, is that Mitro as a service is not going to be available.
But you know what that does not really matter. Here is why. Mitro is available as an open source product, which means the source code is available in a git repository.
So you can just go there and build your own back end solution using a cloud machine somewhere and deploy the source code available here. So you can basically go to Mitro’s source code, grab that source code here and run this mitro core application on a back end solution somewhere in the cloud, where you would deploy Java JDK and then build it up.
After doing that, the next step would be grab the browser extensions from this location and then install the dependencies needed such as node js and node package manager and then build out your extensions for browsers. and then your are done.
So the beauty here is, of using open source products even if the creators decide to shutdown the service, is that open source liberates you. Even if the creators decide to shut down the service, you can still run your own service based on your own cloud infrastructure based and the source code they have offered to the community.
That is the power of open source.
