Follow on Google News | ![]() 75% of Cloud Developers Would Switch Cloud ProvidersBy: Evans Data Corp. When it came to cloud deployments, however, developers were less keen. Only 28% would definitely be willing to switch, while 35% would probably consider it. Thirty-seven percent would probably or definitely not consider it. While various difficulties may arise from switching cloud providers, including database lock-ins and dealing with unique hardware characteristics and configurations, a top reason for developers is the need to rework their codebases. Sixty-three percent said their codebase would need significant rework if it were to be moved to a new cloud provider. In fact, nearly all codebases would need some rework, as only 4% of developers cited that no rework would be needed in moving to a new cloud environment. The larger and older codebases of more established companies likely require the most rework. The survey provided a margin of error of 4.8% and was conducted in September of this year. It examined various aspects of cloud development including multi-cloud configurations, cloud migration, data centers, AI in the cloud, and security among other topics. It found that the top reasons developers would migrate to another cloud are related to faster performance, better vendor supplied databases, and better tech support. Security can also be an issue. Developers faulted their current service providers for not supplying specific security tools.
