ABOUT THIS REPORT

 TOP 3 INSIGHTS

Cloud computing has emerged from its back-end, client/server

roots, to create paradigms of its own. Processing on demand

enables disruptive competitors to capitalise on success, without the

huge investments they would once have needed, and standardised

platforms are making cloud development easier than ever before. 

The 10th edition of the Developer Economics survey reached over21,000 respondents from 150 countries and provides detailed data

on thousands of cloud developers. The survey tracks developer

experiences across platforms, revenues, apps, languages, tools,

APIs, segments and regions, allowing us to extract information in

the developer groups you ‘re mostly interested in. 

In this report we will be looking in detail at the cloud developer

communities, seeing motivations map to tools and business models,

providing an insight into what applications they are creating and

how they are creating them.

The cloud developer community is overwhelmingly

professional, almost three quarters of Cloud developers are

creating professional applications. There are few true

“hobbyists” working in Cloud computing.

Cloud developers are the most experienced sector, but the

percentage who’ve been coding for more than six years is

dropping.

Java is the most-popular Cloud language in every segment,

but in Enterprise IT it faces competition from C#.

Google’s cloud is awash with Scouts and Explorers, trying something

new with minimal risk. Microsoft, Amazon and IBM are professional

playgrounds as the majority of their developer customers are looking

to make an immediate return.
