+    How do you vet open-source software you're thinking of adding to your project?
+---
+
+Open-source software, such as Drupal modules and themes, PHP libraries and Tailwind CSS plugins, is great.
+
+Instead of writing everything from scratch, if someone else has written what you need, you can use it.
+
+In the Drupal ecosystem, there's a saying - "There's a module for that!".
+
+But, assuming you find a project that adds the functionality you need, you should review and vet it before adding it to your application.
+
+Adding too many modules and libraries can cause performance issues, add a maintenance overhead, introduce upstream bugs and add potential security vulnerabilities.
+
+As well as reading the code, here are some questions I ask and things I look for when deciding to add a project or not:
+
+- Does it do what I need?
+- Does it add too much functionality? Is there a more minimal version that does what I need without the extra overhead?
+- Does it have a stable release? If there's only a development or alpha release (which are unstable and can break at any time), I wouldn't add it.
+- Is it extendable? Can I configure or extend it if I need to add more or alter it's default functionality?
+- How many other websites are using it? Websites like Drupal.org and Packagist will show usage statistics.
+- How many open issues are there?
+- When was the most recent commit and release?
+- Does it have automated tests? If so, are they passing?
+- Does it have a README.md file or other documentation?
+- Who are the maintainers?
+- Are they responsive to issues and accepting of outside contributions? If I find a bug, can I fix and contribute it?
+- Does the project have a published roadmap?
+
+Finally:
+
+Do I really need it?
