Host

Where do you host your databases and / or services and / or applications that you or your company develop?

Hosting on private servers has decreased this year. Before 2020 it was the leading approach to hosting, and since then has been showing a downward trend.

Where do you primarily host?

Private servers are somewhat more often used by developers who work in financial and medical industries. Companies that are involved in education / training are somewhat more likely to host locally.

Which cloud services do you use?

This year Microsoft Azure overtook Google Cloud Platform as the second most popular cloud service.

Based on our data, DigitalOcean has significantly decreased its share in 2022 compared to 2021, because it is widely used for website development. In 2021, we had a disproportionately high number of PHP developers who filled out the survey.
