Kubernetes Adoption Trends: How Real Devs Use K8s In Production

The Kubernetes Adoption Trends Survey revealed that companies either have many active workloads running on Kubernetes or just a few, with limited middle ground. The number one challenge running Kubernetes is the deployment of data-intensive transactional workloads, as reported by 46% of surveyed organizations. Serverless adoption is also emerging, with two-thirds of companies already using serverless computing or in the process of doing so. Additionally, multi-cloud environments are becoming more common, with 65% of survey participants working in a multi-cloud or hybrid environment or actively moving workloads to such an environment by the end of 2021.
