      Hey Ryan, thanks for the comment. So, Orchestrate actually has an on-demand export tool so there is no lock-in. We backup your data into S3 and send you all your data in JSON format. We take zero lock-in very seriously :) http://orchestrate.io/blog/2014/03/12/new-feature-data-export-for-zero-lock-in/
