We analyzed a quarterly report on developer trends in the cloud, which surveyed nearly 5,000 respondents globally about their use of technologies like containers and serverless computing. The results show that nearly half of respondents use containers today, with most who don't yet using them planning to adopt them in the future. Developers cite easy scalability as the biggest benefit of container use, but face challenges in setting up persistent data storage and network configuration. Only a third of developers globally have deployed applications in a serverless environment, but 43% of Indian-based developers have done so. When it comes to hiring managers' perspectives, competing job opportunities are cited as the main reason for technical employees leaving, while workplace culture is seen as a key factor in companies with strong IT talent retention. The report also highlights the perceived advantages and disadvantages of coding bootcamps compared to traditional college degrees. DigitalOcean Currents is published quarterly to provide insights into developer trends in the cloud.
