In the competitive software development industry, the concepts of Red and Blue Oceans offer valuable insights for entrepreneurs and developers. Red Oceans are saturated markets dominated by big brands, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, where survival often depends on outperforming rivals and capturing a larger slice of existing demand.
