Organizations are investing the most in Open Source databases and data technologies. Cloud and container (and container orchestration) technologies are still being heavily invested in by many organizations. Further analysis reveals that it is particularly large enterprises that are investing in the use of containers as the preferred architectural model while small to mid-size entities are allocating more to data technologies.
Open Source Needed
Database Needed
The top two most used open source data technologies are MySQL and PostgreSQL. Some notable increases include Redis (almost 10% higher than last year), Apache Kafka, and Apache Spark. Redis now has more than a billion Docker Hub pulls and it has an engaged community of developers, architects, and open source contributors. Percentage of usage was static for both ElasticSearch and its open source fork, OpenSearch. PostgreSQL is used more commonly than MySQL. Both the largest and the smallest organizations prefer MySQL over PostgreSQL.

Adoption is Growing
Linux, cloud/container and database are the top 3 adopted Open Source technologies. Linux and cloud/container are the top 2 most contributed Open Source technologies. Both adoption and contribution are growing rapidly.

Data service on Kubernetes leads the way
Organizations everywhere are choosing to run their data on Kubernetes, with 97% choosing to run data-intensive workloads on their cloud native platforms. A significant number of critical applications like databases (72%), analytics (67%), and AI/ML workloads (54%) are being built on Kubernetes, further proving the maturity of Kubernetes. Managing these types of data-intensive workloads is noeasy feat.
