Was your product developed in-house or outsourced? Do you outsource when your team needs help?
Let us know, I think the community would be interested.

I will begin. Only our internal team is working on the product, but we are already considering why we should not outsource testing. So, I believe we will actively work with outsourcing in the future.

Launching soon!
@oleg_eltsov I like that approach. We've entertained outsourcing testing but are uncertain where or what to start with and how much of our product we should expose!
Never, we keep everything in house
In most cases, outsourcing is a path to disaster.
Outsourced parts of my MVP, but kept core dev in-house to maintain control. Worked well for scalability.
For one of my clients (I work as a freelancer myself): the entire team is mainly outsourced through Upwork. I don't think it's a bad idea but they gave everyone a part-time contract, so the work is going pretty slow, especially for the devs.
For the startup I co-founded: we're a team of 3 and most things have been done in-house. We hired a dev via Upwork and had a very positive experience. He proposed a clear timeline based on our requirements and budget, and it all worked out pretty well.
Nope, following the publication of articles about the project in the media, many volunteers reached out to us with requests, and despite that, all of us remained committed within the team. It is very dangerous to compromise on quality.
Sometimes.
Yes, I try to outsource everything that is possible. I try to concentrate at the most important things.
Personally, in-house development is far better than outsourcing.
Because with in-house development, we can ensure that everything goes as it should and it is easier to scale efficiently, and most importantly, we can make sure that our employee share the same vision and passion for building what the company aspires to achieve.
