Introduction\n\nCurrents is DigitalOcean’s report on trends impacting developers at growing tech businesses around the world. For our latest edition, we focused on how these growing businesses are adapting to the increased adoption of artificial intelligence. The rise of AI has created opportunities for individual developers and businesses, but integrating new tools and technologies is not without challenges, especially for those who are not large enterprises with teams dedicated to AI. This report, gathered responses from over 1,000 developers around the world, examines how widespread adoption of AI really is, what challenges developers face when it comes to AI adoption, how usage of AI tools differs based on company size and other factors, and what the biggest upcoming trends are.\n\n\n\nThe findings reveal a significant growth opportunity, as 21% of organizations have yet to implement AI formally in any form. Despite this, there is clear interest in AI innovation: 66% of respondents are engaged in passion projects exploring AI, and 36% are actively investigating capabilities without having launched formal initiatives. For small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in particular, AI adoption could be a game-changer by allowing developers to take on multiple roles more easily—but they must first overcome key barriers, such as high Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) costs and lack of internal knowledge on how to best leverage these tools.\n\n\n\nKey findings include:\n\n\n- **AI adoption is increasing, but still has growth potential:** AI adoption has increased significantly over the past year—in November 2023, we found that 49% of respondents had used AI for business use, and a year later, 79% say their organization is integrating AI in some form. However, there is still clear room for more growth and maturity in organizations’ AI usage, as 32% say they are just starting to explore AI, and just 11% consider themselves an AI-driven business.\n\n\n\n\n- **Cost and knowledge are barriers for entry for SMEs:** The high upfront costs of GPUs are a challenge for 34% of businesses, along with the lack of knowledge around how to optimize GPUs. Smaller companies feel this more acutely, and sometimes struggle to justify investments in AI as they find it challenging to demonstrate a clear return on investment from these activities, and have a lack of dedicated in-house AI resources.\n\n\n\n\n- **Trust, safety, and integration concerns:** Other challenges with adoption for AI include integrating AI into existing workflows and choosing the right AI model. Looking at the most urgent issues in the AI space today, 47% say reliance on unverified LLM data is a top concern, along with ensuring AI data is unbiased.\n\n\n\n\n- **Upcoming trends in AI:** While areas such as agentic AI are already growing quickly, we looked at what respondents feel is the next frontier of AI, and found that Advanced Multi Modal Systems, Real Time Audio Translation, and Automated Machine Learning are the next most compelling. Organizations currently are primarily using AI for improving internal processes and operations and enhancing their existing services with AI/ML.\n\n\n\n\nThese findings make it clear—accessible AI solutions are key to unlocking AI for businesses of all sizes, especially those without large teams dedicated to AI transformation. Affordable GPU compute and approachable AI tools will help alleviate the challenges many developers are currently facing when it comes to AI, and enable them to integrate AI solutions more efficiently.\n\n\n\nRead on for the full report and results.\n\n## AI usage\n\n79% of respondents are already using AI in some way, but many are in early stages of exploration—indicating that there’s huge potential for growth as tools become more accessible. Smaller businesses (those with under 100 employees) are using AI to augment their skills more often, while businesses with 500 or more employees are more likely to be just starting to explore AI, which could be due to the complexity of integrating AI at large organizations.\n\n![Currents graph adoption](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph1.png)\n\nOf those already using AI tools, the most common application is to improve internal processes and operational efficiency (26%), followed by enhancing existing products with AI (25%) and developing new products with AI (22%).\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph2.png)\n\n\n## Barriers to entry\n\nGPUs, which are required for many compute-heavy AI tasks, are expensive to procure and run. While 29% of respondents stated that accessing compute wasn’t a challenge for them, 34% mentioned the high upfront cost of GPUs and 24% cited lack of internal knowledge around how to effectively utilize GPUs.\n\n\n\nSmaller businesses with 1-10 employees are more likely to cite cost as a challenge when it comes to GPUs, with 38% of businesses that size reporting this as a challenge compared to 29% of those with 11-99 employees and 22% of those with 100-499 employees. Similarly, lack of knowledge around utilizing GPUs is more often a challenge amongst businesses with fewer employees, as they are less likely to have employees dedicated to infrastructure management and optimization.\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph3.png)\n\nCurrents also looked at whether respondents started experimenting with AI using cloud services or their own computers, and examined the factors that go into why individuals or organizations eventually move to AI cloud services. While 63% of respondents said they started experimenting with AI for personal projects on their own computer, organizations are more likely to start on cloud platforms, with 44% stating that organizations started on cloud services. Organizations are also more likely to now use cloud services for AI, at 65%, compared to 39% for those with personal AI projects. The top reasons for moving to the cloud were access to advanced features (42%), cost optimization (38%) and scaling needs (37%).\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph4.png)\n\n\nDespite the rise in funding for AI-centric businesses, some still struggle to justify the spending that comes along with integrating AI into their organization—23% say they struggle significantly to justify AI spending, while 27% say they struggle somewhat, and 36% don’t struggle to justify this spending. When asked why they struggle to justify spending, the most popular reason was the challenge of predicting and demonstrating a return on investment (48%), followed by lack of in-house expertise needed to leverage AI technologies fully (38%) and the complexity of integrating AI with existing systems (32%).\n\n\n\nVery small businesses with under 10 employees are more likely to struggle significantly with justifying spend on AI (25%), compared to 21% with 10-99 employees and 18% of larger businesses.\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph5.png)\n\nIn addition to challenges around access and cost justification, we asked respondents about overall challenges in adopting and implementing AI. The most common challenges were around integrating AI into existing workflows (41%), choosing the right AI model for their needs (35%), and managing data privacy and security concerns (30%). For this question we found that integrating AI into existing workflows was a larger challenge for larger organizations, likely due to the number and complexity of their existing processes, while choosing the right AI model was cited by a higher percent of smaller businesses as a top challenge.\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph7.png)\n\n## AI Models\n\nAl models are the backbone for much of the Al work happening today-many of the innovative Al projects being developed use common Al models, rather than creating their own models. We looked into how respondents are thinking about Al models today, and especially how they are using open source models. We found that 83% use open source Al models as a starting point for their projects at least some of the time, with 39% using these models frequently or always. When asked about benefits of using open source, in addition to using open source code, respondents find knowledge sharing (54%), resource/tool sharing (37%), and skill development (40%) are valuable benefits of open source when it comes to Al.\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph8.png)\n\nThe complexity of Al models has grown over time, and with this several challenges arise. We found that difficulties acquiring high-quality datasets were a top challenge for respondents (45%) followed by effectively scaling models to handle greater workloads (44% and ensuring data diversity (40%).\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph9.png)\n\n## Future of AI\n\nFinally, we looked into the future of Al in the minds of developers, including the most urgent issues in the Al space and what they see as the next big revolution in Al. Reliance on unverified LLM outputs was a top concern for respondents, with 47% citing this as an urgent issue in Al, while 39% mentioned ensuring Al is free of bias and 38% cited energy efficiency and the environmental impacts of Al.\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph10.png)\n\nAl is constantly evolving, and looking at the next big revolution in Al, we found several areas that developers feel will emerge next. Advanced multi-modal systems were the top choice (34%) | followed by automated machine learning (31%), Al-driven biotechnology (23%), and real-time audio translation (22%).\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_graph11.png)\n\nWe also looked at how developers are engaging with Al outside of their everyday work, finding that 65% engage in Al-related passion projects or side jobs, demonstrating the strong interest in the area from developers. The top motivations for taking part in these side projects were exploring new technologies (69%) and enhancing professional skills (65%), which both surpassed other motivations like increasing income, cited by only 36%.\n\nThis skill expansion is also backed by the skills developers are expected to have today while full stack development is the most in-demand skill for developers, with 57% saying their organization looks for this, 28 say model training and deployment is a skill they look for, 25% say developers are expected to have expertise in managing ML lifecycles, and 25% cite Al deployment as a key skill developers they hire should have.\n\n![Currents graph](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_2025/Currents_callout1.png)\n\n## Conclusion\n\nIt's clear that when it comes to Al, developers and SMEs face a sometimes conflicting reality-while there is immense potential for growing businesses to incorporate Al to streamline processes and enhance product offerings, there are significant challenges when it comes to Al integration.

Focusing on key players in the tech ecosystem—founders, executives, and employees—we explored how they're navigating issues like fundraising, hiring, and future-proofing their businesses.\n\nWith the world of work in flux, we gauged sentiment toward remote work and return-to-office policies. As the artificial intelligence boom continues, we also examined how businesses are adopting AI technologies, from conversational agents like ChatGPT to complex machine learning models, and the challenges they face in doing so. Naturally, we also touch upon critical areas like cloud computing and cybersecurity.\n\nTo capture a well-rounded view, we surveyed a diverse group that includes respondents from domains such as developer tools, tech infrastructure, fintech, blockchain, gaming, and entertainment. The survey has a global reach, featuring respondents from around the world—from Belarus to Brazil.\n\nThe findings are based on 665 completed surveys, with 58% of respondents identifying as full-time employees, 19% as self-employed or entrepreneurs, and 15% as company owners or founders. Let's get to the details.\n\n## Key findings\n\n**Economic downturn affects small businesses but optimism persists:**\n\n2023 has been characterized by rising inflation, elevated interest rates, and widespread layoffs in the tech sector, posing challenges for both businesses and consumers. We found that 42% of respondents indicate that the current economic situation has negatively impacted their business. However, many businesses remain optimistic—asked about the outlook for their business in the next year, 37% had a somewhat positive stance, while 15% had a very positive posture. \n\n**Widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML):**\n\nDespite economic challenges, most companies remain committed to investing in emerging technologies like AI/ML to improve operations, though ethical concerns and implementation costs are top barriers. Software development tools and data analytics are seen as the most promising AI applications across industries, though the current hype cycle has left many uncertain about tangible benefits. The survey uncovered that 43% of respondents are currently using AI/ML tools for both personal and business use. Meanwhile, 78% of those surveyed believe that their use of AI/ML will increase compared to last year. \n\n**Remote and hybrid work structures dominate the tech landscape:**\n\nThe post-COVID work landscape is diverse, featuring a mix of remote, hybrid, and in-office arrangements as companies adapt to new operational and employee preferences. Answering the survey, 47% of respondents reported that their companies are hybrid remote, while 40% reported being fully remote. A minority, 13% reported that their company is fully in-office. However, 19% of respondents reported that their companies had instituted a return-to-office policy. \n\n**Multi-cloud strategies are rising in tandem with cybersecurity investments:**\n\nMulti-cloud strategies and cybersecurity investments are becoming increasingly central as organizations strive for both scalability and security. In 2023, 35% of organizations are employing multi-cloud approaches, underscoring the diversification in cloud infrastructure. Concurrently, 37% of businesses plan to increase their cybersecurity spending, indicating a heightened focus on security in tandem with cloud expansion.\n\n**For the complete findings, continue reading this edition of Currents.**\n\n## Economic impact on business operations\n\nWhile a significant portion have weathered the economic storm unscathed or even benefited, the largest share of businesses report taking a hit from broader economic troubles. The high percentage of companies feeling negative effects suggests the wider trends of inflation, rising interest rates, and recession fears are creating strong headwinds for many organizations.\n\nWe asked respondents how the current economic situation has impacted their business operations and performance. Forty-two percent said the economic climate has had a negative impact on their business, while 38% indicated they have experienced no impact from the downturn. Additionally, 9% noted a positive impact on their business from the economy.\n\nWhen asked to rate their level of agreement with the statement \"the current economic situation has negatively impacted my business,\" 92% agreed or strongly agreed and just 4% disagreed or strongly disagreed that the current economic situation has negatively impacted their business.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-1.png)\n\nWhen we asked about the outlook for their business over the next 12 months, sentiments were mixed but leaned positive overall. The largest share (37%) hold a somewhat positive outlook, while 31% remain neutral on the prospects for their business. Fifteen percent describe themselves as very positive on their one-year ahead business outlook. However, 15% also hold a somewhat negative outlook, and 3% are very negative on the future business landscape.\n\n## Capital raising and talent acquisition\n\nIn a climate of challenging macroeconomic trends, businesses are neither retreating nor standing still; they are holding the line with resilient intent. While economic uncertainties loom, companies remain undeterred in advancing their fundraising and hiring agendas. This tenacity reflects a broader industry sentiment: adaptability and strategic realignment are not just options, but necessities for navigating the turbulent economic waters.\n\nWhile fundraising can be a key lever for business growth, the past six months have shown varied results among respondents. In the last six months, 15% of respondents have raised funds for their business, while 85% have not. This gap suggests that many companies may be bootstrapped or have opted for alternative financing models, although various external factors, including macroeconomic challenges, could also be at play.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Callout-3.png)\n\nAmid challenging economic conditions, businesses are making calculated choices about their fundraising strategies. In the context of the current economy, 18% of respondents have increased their fundraising efforts, 32% have maintained the same level, 10% have decreased efforts.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-3.png)\n\nLayoffs have emerged as one response to financial pressures, but not all companies are embracing this approach. In response to the current financial climate, 14% of organizations have conducted layoffs, while 86% have not.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-4.png)\n\nWhile most companies aren't resorting to layoffs, it's worth noting that they aren't aggressively expanding their workforce either. Over the past year, 5% of respondents saw a significant increase in hiring efforts, 14% experienced a moderate increase, 56% maintained the same level, 8% had a moderate decrease, and 7% noted a significant decrease.\n\n## The rise of AI and ML in the workplace\n\nThe rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning are fueling a technological gold rush, transforming automation, predictive analytics, and data-driven decision-making. These technologies are not just streamlining operations but also serving as catalysts for innovation across various industries. As companies navigate the challenges of implementation, they unlock opportunities for growth and competitive advantage.\n\nRegarding the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, 45% of respondents believe these technologies make their job easier, while 43% feel they are over-hyped. Interestingly, 31% don't perceive them as a threat to their job, though 8% do. A notable 27% feel that these tools enable a focus on more critical tasks, while 19% stress the need for additional safeguards before trusting them. Another 19% find no difference in their daily work due to these tools. Some 10% remain undecided, 8% state these tools introduce organizational confusion, 3% believe they complicate their job, and 2% admit unfamiliarity with AI/ML tools altogether.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-6.png)\n\nInterestingly, 24% of participants reported using these tools exclusively for personal activities. On the other hand, a modest 6% utilize them solely for business operations. Notably, a significant 43% have incorporated AI/ML tools into both their personal and professional tasks. Some 27% have refrained from using AI/ML tools altogether.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-7.png)\n\nAs part of their push for innovation and experimentation, companies are ramping up their use of AI and machine learning. A total of 78% of respondents anticipate an increase in their use of AI/ML this year compared to the previous year, while only 3% expect a decrease, and 19% foresee no change in their usage.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Callout-4.png)\n\nWhile business leaders identify multiple AI applications as potentially impactful, the tools they actually use may paint a slightly different picture. Businesses have implemented AI/ML in various areas, with 47% using it in software development and coding. Data analysis and insights come next with 34%, followed by process automation at 27%. Marketing, particularly in email writing, stands at 24%, while customer service and engagement have seen a 21% implementation rate. Other areas include product recommendations, other user experience enhancements, and sales at 12%, 12%, and 7%, respectively. Interestingly, 12% of businesses reported not having implemented AI/ML at all.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-9.png)\n\n## Remote work and return to office\n\nIn 2023, the lasting impact of the global pandemic on the world of work remains evident. Remote work, once an emergency response, has evolved into a mainstay for many businesses, challenging the traditional office-centric model. Hybrid work arrangements have also gained traction, offering a flexible middle ground as companies navigate the complexities of returning to physical office spaces.\n\nAccording to our research, 39% of surveyed companies operate fully remotely, while 23% follow a hybrid model with required in-office days. Another 25% have adopted a hybrid approach but offer open remote options. Only 14% of companies remain fully in-office.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-11.png)\n\nThe evolution of return-to-office policies reflects ongoing adjustments to the new normal at work. In the past year, 20% of companies have implemented a return-to-office policy. A majority, at 63%, continue to support remote work, while 9% never adopted a remote work model to begin with. Additionally, 8% of respondents are unsure about their company's stance.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-12.png)\n\nWhen we asked about their preferred office experience, 47% of respondents favor a fully remote setup. A hybrid model with open remote options is preferred by 29%, whereas 16% opt for a hybrid model with specific required in-office days. A mere 8% prefer a fully in-office arrangement.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Callout-6.png)\n\n## Cloud computing and cybersecurity insights \n\nThe rise of cloud infrastructure has dramatically transformed business operations, offering flexibility, scalability, and significant cost benefits. As organizations migrate their systems and data to the cloud, the complexities surrounding security and scalability grow proportionally. Ensuring seamless cloud performance while maintaining robust cybersecurity is crucial for businesses to remain competitive and secure.\n\nWhen addressing the scalability of their cloud infrastructure, 45% of organizations leverage their cloud provider's automatic scaling features to ensure flexibility. In contrast, 17% employ in-house cloud management solutions for custom scaling. Utilizing a hybrid cloud approach for optimized scalability is a strategy for 23%, while the same percentage of organizations (23%) indicate that scalability isn't a primary concern. A small proportion (3%) have adopted AI technologies for this purpose, and 9% do not use any of the aforementioned methods.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-13.png)\n\nThe cloud infrastructure setup of organizations varies. About 33% of organizations rely solely on a single cloud provider. On the other hand, 35% utilize multiple cloud providers, indicating a multi-cloud approach. Meanwhile, 31% of organizations have adopted a hybrid model, integrating one or more cloud infrastructure services with their on-premises setup. A mere 5% maintain an on-premises-only infrastructure, while 7% are unsure about their organization's cloud infrastructure setup.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-14.png)\n\nThe decision to increase spending on cybersecurity is influenced by multiple factors. Both the need to invest in advanced security software and updating older systems motivate 37% of businesses. The emergence and risks associated with generative AI account for 34%, while 31% are concerned about vulnerabilities in hybrid work environments. The aspiration to utilize managed security services drives 29% of organizations, and a recent security incident is the impetus for 20%. Hiring more cybersecurity professionals is a reason for 18%, and 8% have other reasons driving their decision.\n\n![image alt text](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/004reports/Currents-November-2023/Graph-15.png)\n\nCloud computing is key for organizations seeking scalability and flexibility. As they adopt different strategies like automatic scaling and hybrid clouds, cybersecurity remains essential. This highlights the interconnectedness of digital infrastructure and security.\n\n## Methodology\n\nThis survey was conducted through an online survey link from September 13, 2023 to October 17, 2023, and garnered 665 completed responses. The link was distributed to DigitalOcean email lists.\n\nApproximately 26% of respondents were full-stack developers, 13% were CEOs, founders, or owners, and 10% were back-end developers.

Innovation often occurs during economic downturns, and with continuing turmoil in the technology industry, we were interested in looking at how individuals are turning to side jobs and starting new businesses during this time. Are those working in the technology industry increasingly likely to start a small business or have a side job, and how are they looking to grow that business? How do they feel about their current job security?\n\nWe also examined how new tools such as the rise of ChatGPT and generative AI are impacting businesses already, and looked at ongoing trends in cloud computing. Results for this report came from over 1,600 individual employees, developers, and small business or startup founders who were surveyed from March to April 2023.\n\nSome of the key findings include:\n\n* **Side jobs are becoming small businesses**: With layoffs and market stagnation top of mind, many employees are becoming solopreneurs who are actively creating businesses outside of their primary employment in order to pursue a passion and professional independence. The goal for a majority of these businesses is to stay small, but scale to a point where it can become the owner’s primary income. There is also evidence that those impacted directly by layoffs are more likely to be starting a new business or scaling their idea than those not impacted by layoffs.\n\n\n* **Small businesses are weathering the economy:** While a third of businesses have made changes to their business due to the current economic conditions, a majority continue to feel positive about their growth and how their business will fare a year from now. Over a quarter plan to raise funds in the next 6 months.\n\n\n* **AI and ChatGPT are in a widespread testing phase:** AI and ChatGPT are catching on quickly, but many companies are still in the testing phase and do not have usage policies put into place. It’s a decisive component that new emerging businesses must consider, and there’s a distinct generational gap when it comes to feelings around AI or machine learning tools. Findings make it clear that AI/ChatGPT usage is growing quicker than its policy formation, and will be a critical aspect for newly forming SMBs to keep in mind.\n\n\n* **Cost and security continue to be important in choosing cloud providers:** Cost continues to be a major factor in the selection of a cloud infrastructure provider, especially for small businesses trying to control costs during an economic downturn. Security and time to maintain infrastructure is also a challenge that companies face when it comes to their cloud provider.\n\nRead on for the full results, including breakdowns by age and other factors.\n\n## Side jobs and their growth into small businesses \n\nIn the first part of this Currents, we looked at employment types and the prevalence of side jobs or side businesses, and found that 55% say that full-time employment is their primary job compared to 22% who say they run their own business as their primary employment. However, in addition to their primary employment, over half (52%) say they do other work on the side.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/002Blog/Graph-1.png)\n\nOver half (56%) categorize their business as a small business, demonstrating that even if their business is small or a job they do in addition to another position, they view themselves as part of the small business ecosystem. Most of these businesses are in the earlier stages of growth, 25% exploring an idea, 52% saying they are creating a product, service, presence, or brand, 24% expanding their revenue and customers, and 18% managing established processes.\n\nWe also looked at the percentage of those who say their business is their primary source of income, and found that 54% say their business is their primary source of income, and 50% of those for who it is not their primary income say they anticipate their business their primary source of income, demonstrating that many are looking to grow their business to a stage where it can replace their primary employment.\n\nThe long-term goals for business owners also vary, but it’s clear that the majority of business owners are looking to stay small rather than grow to a business that may be bought by another company or go public. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/002Blog/Graph-5.png)\n\nLooking at the motivations behind turning their idea into a business, most are motivated by pursuing a passion (44%), professional independence (41%), or supplemental income (18%).\n\nThe economic climate has also impacted how respondents are thinking about scaling their business—of those who were laid off recently, 51% say that fears of a recession/layoffs impacted their feelings about scaling their idea, compared to just 16% of those who were not laid off. Those who were laid off were also more likely to say they are starting a company they want to scale, rather than taking on jobs to do as an individual. These findings show there may be a trend amongst those impacted by layoffs in starting and scaling something on their own.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/002Blog/Graph-7.png)\n\n## Business and funding outlook\n\nWe also asked small business owners how they are handling the current economic climate and their feelings for the future, finding that 31% say they have made changes to their business to deal with the current economic situation, but that 61% feel positive about the outlook for their business in the next year.\n\nLooking at how these businesses are funded, 68% say they are bootstrapping their funding, while just 7% are using venture capital funding and 4% using angel funding, showing that there are many technology small businesses being created outside of the venture-backed startup model. Just 15% have raised funds for their business in the last six months, but 27% plan to raise money in the next six months. Twenty percent say they have delayed fundraising due to the uncertain economic situation.\n\nIn terms of growth plans, 30% say they plan to hire for their business in 2023, with software development being the most common hire at 51%, followed by operations and marketing roles.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/002Blog/Graph-10.png)\n\n## Job security and satisfaction\n\nIn addition to questions about side jobs and businesses, we also asked respondents if they had been laid off recently and how they feel about job security for their primary role. We compared these factors with those who have started businesses or side jobs, to see if being impacted by layoffs has changed how people view pursuing a business idea of their own.\n\nWhile just 10% reported that they were laid off in 2022 or early 2023, 22% say they started a new job in 2022 or 2023. Higher compensation (42%), a remote/flexible work environment (34%), and better benefits (23%) were the top motivators for taking a new job, while 12% say they left to start their own company.\n\nIn terms of current job security, 13% say they are very concerned while 31% say they are somewhat concerned about their job security.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/002Blog/Graph-12.png)\n\n## Cloud infrastructure challenges and trends\n\nWe asked a series of questions follow up on cloud infrastructure challenges that we have found in previous editions of Currents to see how trends have changed or stayed the same.\n\nTop factors that influence decision-making on cloud infrastructure include cost, which is mentioned by 72%, the functionality and features of the solution (59%), the uptime of the solution (57%) and the security of the solution (53%).\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/002Blog/Graph-14.png)\n\nChallenges companies face regarding their cloud infrastructure include ensuring their data is secure (42%), the time needed to maintain cloud infrastructure (35%), and high pricing (32%).\n\n## Generative AI usage and trends\n\nGenerative AI solutions such as ChatGPT have seemingly exploded in popularity in the past few months, so we wanted to see how individuals and businesses are incorporating these solutions into their work. We found that overall, 61% expect their usage of AI/ML to increase this year compared to 41% last year who expected their usage to increase. Feelings on the rise of AI/machine learning tools are mixed, with 39% overall saying that AI makes their job easier, while 30% say these tools are over-hyped.\n\nRegarding ChatGPT specifically, 69% percent have used ChatGPT specifically for either personal or business use, or both, with 62% saying they are just testing the solution out, while 23% are starting to integrate it into regular tasks and just 13% say it is already integrated into their regular tasks.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/002Blog/Graph-16.png)\n\nWe find that usage of ChatGPT varies by age group, with younger respondents more likely to say they have started to integrate ChatGPT into their regular work, compared to older age groups who are more likely to say they are just testing out the tool.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/002Blog/Graph-17.png)\n\n## Methodology\n\nResults in this report were gathered from a survey conducted from March 8th, 2023 to April 22nd, 2023 which garnered a total of 1670 responses. Respondents were screened into certain sections of the survey based on eligibility. The age breakdown of respondents was 9% 18-24, 23% 25-34, 33% 35-44, 22% 45-54, 8% 55-64, and 4% 65+. Eighty-nine percent of respondents identified as male, 5% female, 1% non-binary, 1% self-describe, and 3% did not report their gender. Respondents represent X countries, with 26% of respondents from the United States, 8% Canada, 7% the UK, 5% Germany, and 5% India. The most common job titles (at their primary employment) for respondents were full-stack developer (22%), CEO, founder, or owner (16%), back-end developer (10%), and CTO (7%)."}},"created_at":"2024-07-15T21:27:19.456Z","updated_at":"2024-07-15T21:27:19.456Z","config_section":0,"feature_flag_variation_id":null,"defaulted_at":"2024-11-13T14:58:09.981Z"}],"tags":[],"viewers":[],"editors":[],"authorData":[],"featureFlag":null},{"id":987,"type":"currents","title":"December 2022","subtitle":null,"description":"DigitalOcean's Q4 2022 report on how startups and SMBs are faring today.","slug":"november-2022","state":"published","last_validated_at":null,"show_on_list_view_at":null,"featured_at":null,"primary_featured_at":null,"created_at":"2022-12-07T19:15:37.303Z","updated_at":"2024-07-15T21:28:42.821Z","open_graph_image":null,"author":null,"auto_publish_at":null,"template":"Currents","feature_flag_id":null,"slices":[{"id":2890,"static_page_id":987,"position":0,"type":"hero","metadata":{"title":{"value":"Currents Research - December 2022"},"subheading":{"value":"A seasonal report on developer and SMB trends in the cloud"},"linkText":{"value":"Download report"},"linkUrl":{"value":"https://anchor.digitalocean.com/rs/113-DTN-266/images/DigitalOcean-Currents_Dec-2022.pdf"}},"created_at":"2024-07-15T21:28:42.852Z","updated_at":"2024-07-15T21:28:42.852Z","config_section":0,"feature_flag_variation_id":null,"defaulted_at":"2024-11-13T14:58:09.981Z"},{"id":2891,"static_page_id":987,"position":1,"type":"markdown","metadata":{"content":{"value":"## Introduction\n\nIn our latest edition of Currents, DigitalOcean’s regular research report, we examined how startups and SMBs are faring today. With an impending recession and regular news of layoffs and spending cuts throughout the technology industry, we wanted to find out how startup founders and small business executives are really feeling. How negatively is the economy impacting them, and what are their priorities going into 2023? What opportunities do they see for the future, and how are they planning to future-proof their businesses? \n\nWe examined these topics, along with other areas that are top-of-mind for businesses today, including security threats, cost of technology, funding concerns, and cloud migration. To get a pulse on these items, we surveyed a targeted group of founders, CEOs, and executives at startups and small businesses across industries, with a focus on those building digital solutions. The below results are based on completed responses from 554 respondents, 70% of whom identify as CEO, founder, or owners, and 23% who identify as CTOs. \n\nHere’s what we found:\n* **Small businesses are feeling the economic slowdown, but remain optimistic about the future:** 32% of SMB respondents say the economy has had no impact on their business, while 14% say it has impacted them positively. The optimism extends to their revenue opportunities, with 48% saying their business is performing better now than this time last year. Sixty-three percent feel positive about the outlook for 2023; seventy-nine percent feel positive about the next three years. \n\n* **Investing in technology helps drive efficiency and future-proof businesses:** Eighty-five percent of companies believe that investing in technology will help them prepare their businesses for the future, including investments in automation/self-service (53%), cloud computing (41%), and managed services (32%). Respondents say these technology investments provide increased efficiency (67%) and cost savings (47%).\n\n* **Businesses are struggling with cloud migration:** Half of businesses have migrated cloud providers, with 49% of those who have migrated saying the process was very or somewhat difficult, and 85% saying they might consider migrating if the process was easier. Costs are the main driving factor for both those who have migrated (65%) and those who haven’t migrated cloud providers in the past (70%).\n\nWhile it’s clear that small businesses are not immune to the wider economic trends today, founders and CEOs remain cautiously optimistic about the future of their businesses. They understand that technology can help them streamline operations and future-proof their organizations—and they’re willing to make the investments necessary to make that happen. They are also looking for cost-effective technology solutions that will meet their needs, while also increasing efficiencies within their business. Read on for the full findings from this edition of Currents.\n\n## Economic outlook and biggest challenges\n\nWhile economic uncertainty has been a large headline over the past few months and small businesses are feeling the impacts of that, they also have optimism over the future. Just 20% say that ‘economic uncertainty’ is their top challenge today, with an additional 16% citing meeting revenue targets as their top challenge. When asked specifically about how the economy has impacted their business, 46% say ‘somewhat negatively’, but 31% say there has been no impact and 15% say the economic situation has actually been positive for them. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_Graph-1.png)\n\nLooking at changes businesses are making, 37% say they have cut back spending, 21% have raised prices, and 24% have made changes to their products/services, however 26% have not made any changes. Of those who haven’t made changes, 48% say they definitely or probably won’t need to make any changes in the next 6 months. \\n\\nOf the businesses cutting spending, we found that the top areas of spend cut back include technology spend (53%), marketing (46%), and cloud spend (42%). \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_Graph-3.png)\n\nEighty-four percent believe that investing in the right technology helps future-proof their business. The technologies small businesses are looking to invest in include automation/self-service technology solutions (53%), public cloud services (41%), and managed services or managed hosting (32%).\n\nIn addition, of the 43% who say technology has positively impacted their revenue or costs in the past year, 67% cite increased efficiency, 47% say technology has saved them money, 39% say it’s enabled them to grow more quickly, and 23% say they have been able to hire fewer employees.\n\n## Future optimism and fundraising delays\n\nLooking ahead to 2023 and beyond, we find that startups and small businesses feel positive about their future: 63% say their business outlook is somewhat or very positive for 2023, and 79% have a positive outlook for the next 3 years, with only 5% saying they feel their business outlook for the next 3 years is negative. Similarly to earlier questions regarding economic impact, sole proprietors were slightly less optimistic about 2023–51% said they feel somewhat or very positive, while 64% of businesses with 2-9 employees and 69% of those with 10-24 employees feel positive about 2023. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_Graph-6.png)\n\nThere has been speculation around the funding landscape for startups in recent months, and many have been advised to delay new funding. Overall, 23% are planning to raise funds in the next 6 months, and 29% have delayed raising new funds. Of those who have delayed fundraising, 42% believe they will only delay fundraising for 12 months or less, and an additional 27% believe they will delay fundraising for 12-24 months. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_Graph-7.png)\n\n## Security continues to be top concern\n\nWith reports of phishing and cyber attacks on the rise, we also wanted to understand how startups and small businesses are thinking about security risks and priorities as they move into 2023. We found that lack of time to manage security is the number one concern amongst small-to-medium sized businesses, cited by a quarter of respondents. Data loss events/data theft was the second most cited concern, at 23%, followed by a lack of budget to manage security. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_Graph-8.png)\n\nCompared to this time a year ago, a majority (54%) say they are more concerned about cyber security now, though only 8% reported experiencing a security breach in the past year. \n\n## Technology challenges and cloud usage\n\nEconomic uncertainty has meant that small businesses are prioritizing cost savings throughout their technology stack, and we found that cost of services was the largest challenge related to technology businesses facing businesses today, as mentioned by 20% of respondents. Finding the tools to meet their needs and the time needed to maintain services were also common challenges, each mentioned by 16% of respondents. \n\nFor most businesses, spend on both cloud infrastructure and technology solutions in general has gone up in the past year: 47% say their cloud spend has somewhat increased and 14% say it has significantly increased, while 53% and 9% respectively say their overall technology spend has somewhat or significantly increased. \\n\\nReliance on cloud solutions has also increased in the past year, with 57% saying their usage of cloud solutions has gone up in the past year, and just 3% saying their usage has decreased. This finding demonstrates continued reliance on cloud solutions, as our last Currents report found that 65% of respondents had increased their reliance on cloud since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_Graph-10.png)\n\nMulti-cloud usage also continues to be popular amongst respondents–49% say they use a multi-cloud setup, compared to 46% of cloud-native businesses who reported using multiple clouds in our 2021 survey.\n\n## Cloud migration\n\nWith cloud and technology spend going up for most businesses, migrating cloud providers is one area that startups and small businesses may look to in order to reduce costs. However, cloud migration itself can be a time consuming task, especially for small businesses who may need outsourced help to migrate. We found that half of respondents have migrated their cloud infrastructure in the past, with 37% saying the experience was somewhat difficult and 12% stating it was very difficult. \n\nCost savings is the top driver for cloud migration for both those who have migrated in the past (70%), and those who have not migrated (65%). Other drivers for migrating cloud providers are additional products/features and solutions tailored to their business needs. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Currents_Graph-11.png)\n\n## Conclusion and methodology\n\nWhile economic uncertainty is likely to continue for the coming months, in this edition of Currents we found that startups and SMBs are feeling optimistic about the future. As large technology companies conduct layoffs, smaller businesses are looking to technology to optimize their costs, and some even see opportunities related to the current environment. Those businesses that can stay nimble and invest in the right technologies for them will experience streamlined operations and cost efficiencies that will stay with them even as they scale. This survey was conducted through an online survey link from October 18th to November 7th, 2022, and garnered 554 completed responses. The link was distributed to various sample sources, including DigitalOcean email lists, Cloudways email lists, and tech founder groups. Seventy percent of the respondents were CEO/founder/owners, 23% were CTOs, and the remainder were C-Level or VP-level executives. \n\nRespondents represent 76 countries, with 27% being in the United States, 8% in the UK, 5% in India, 5% in Germany, and 5% in Canada. The questionnaire was developed by DigitalOcean and was distributed via link through email and social media channels to both DigitalOcean customers and non-customers. Respondents came from a range of digital industries, with 37% being in the software/Software as a Service, 19% technology consulting, 6% marketing/advertising, 4% eCommerce, and 6% other technology industries. \n\nThe gender breakdown was 90% male, 4% female, 1% non-binary, 1% who self-describe, and 4% who preferred not to say their gender. Respondents represent a range of ages: 3% were aged 18-24, 24% were aged 25-34, 36% were 35-44, 22% aged 45-54, 10% aged 55-64, and 4% 65 and older.

In this edition of Currents, we surveyed over 2,500 developers around the globe on their participation in the open source community, their job satisfaction, and the biggest challenges they face. We dug into emerging trends including serverless and low-code solutions, and examined the popularity of containerization systems and different coding languages. We looked into how factors such as years of job experience and company stage factor into technology usage, and examined how the perceptions of minority groups differ around progress in Diversity and Inclusion. \n\nThe results demonstrate some clear trends across all developers, and some findings that differ based on company size and years of experience. Throughout our survey, one trend that comes through across respondents is the impact that the Great Resignation has had on developers. Following the Great Resignation of 2020–2021, we are now seeing a developer talent shortage, motivated largely by compensation and a desire for remote work. There is also a small but clear movement for developers to leave jobs to start their own companies, indicating that entrepreneurship is strong among this group. Those who remain at their jobs are also stretched thin, with technical debt and lack of resources as top challenges for developers today. \n\nOther main findings show that organizations continue to rely on open source projects for their software development, and participation in the community remains strong. Low-code and no-code solutions, which enable developers and non-developers to create applications without advanced coding skills, have garnered mixed feelings as they become more common, but Kubernetes and serverless solutions are both growing in adoption. \n\nKey findings:\n-------------\n\n* **The Great Resignation continues in the developer community:** Over a quarter of developers who have been in the workforce for over a year started a new job in the past year, with developers at enterprises and startups changing jobs in roughly equal numbers. Additionally, 42% of those who haven’t left their jobs yet are considering or may consider leaving their current jobs this year. Both those who have already left and those considering leaving jobs are motivated by two main factors: Compensation and fully remote or flexible work environments. With an ongoing rise in inflation and the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, it’s clear companies need to offer high pay and work flexibility to retain developers.\n* **Open source remains at the heart of the developer community:** About half of developers reported participating in open source in the past year, slightly more than our 2021 findings. Open source software remains vital to businesses of all sizes, though smaller businesses rely on it slightly more heavily, with 35% of startups and SMBs using open source in 50% or more of their software, compared to 28% of enterprises. Despite heavy reliance on open source technologies, most developers think that companies should give more time during work hours to contribute to open source. While 78% have not been paid for their contributions to open source, a majority believe that open source contributions should be paid. When it comes to diversity and inclusion in the open source community, there has been some improvements in the past years, with 65% saying it is inclusive. However, those in minority groups are more likely to think open source is not inclusive. \n \n* **Developer attitudes on cloud trends can be mixed:** New cloud trends can draw mixed opinions. It’s clear that containers are here to stay, with 68% reporting using containers for some projects, and the usage of serverless computing is picking up, with 44% using serverless already and 61% of that group expecting their usage to increase this year. However, opinions on low-code and no-code solutions are mixed, with developers with less years of experience being more likely to see the use of low-code, and those with more experience rating them as overhyped. Despite the rise of talk around blockchain and Web3 technologies, 67% say they don’t use blockchain or Web3 yet, showing they have more room to grow their adoption.\n\n## Open source findings\n\nWe found that 50% of respondents participated in open source in the past year, roughly in line with our 2021 findings, which found 47% had participated in open source in the past year, and below the 63% who reported participating in open source before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Of those who participated in open source, 47% stated their participation has increased, with 46% reporting no change and only 8% reporting that their participation has decreased since the pandemic started. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/130557d7-dbf0-4669-8568-789356b9396a_Graph-1.png)\n\nDespite the industry’s heavy reliance on open source projects and those who maintain them, most contributors and maintainers have not been paid for their work, and many developers believe that companies should be providing employees more time to contribute upstream to open source projects.\n\nPayment and time given for open source contributions is a debated topic—while just 20% have been paid for their contributions to open source, 53% agree or strongly agree that individuals should be paid for open source contributions. Additionally, 79% agree or strongly agree that companies should give time during work hours to contribute\n\n### Diversity and inclusion in open source\n\nOur findings suggest that inclusivity in open source has improved over the past few years, with 65% of respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing that the community is inclusive, compared to 59% who said the same in 2021 and 58% in 2020. However, of those who identify as being part of a minority group, sentiments are slightly more mixed—26%% who self-identify as a minority disagree that open source is inclusive, compared to just 12% of non-minority groups. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/0f88fa22-a7ec-47a0-ba07-adcff5114eb8_Graph-3.png)\n\n## Developer job trends\n\nThe Great Resignation has been much discussed in the past two years, with an estimated [44% of workers](https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/22/great-resignation-continues-as-44percent-of-workers-seek-a-new-job.html#:~:text=Investing%20Club-,The%20Great%20Resignation%20continues%2C%20as%2044%25%20of%20workers,look%20for%20a%20new%20job\u0026text=Forty%2Dfour%20percent%20of%20employees,the%20Great%20Reshuffle%2C%20is%20continuing.) looking for new jobs according to some reports. Technology companies are experiencing the same phenomenon, particularly among developers, who are highly in demand. This has led to a developer talent shortage even in large companies and reports of burnout for those who remain. \n\nOur survey found that over a quarter (27%) of developers with more than a year of experience have started a new job in the past year. While those with fewer years of experience are most likely to be shifting jobs, one in five developers with 15 years or more experience have also started a new job in the past year. In addition, 42% of those who haven’t left their job say they are considering leaving or may consider leaving this year.\n\n### Motivations to leave jobs\n\nMotivations for leaving jobs are consistent among both those who have already left and those considering leaving, with compensation, remote or flexible work environments, and better benefits being the top factors that motivate people to leave jobs, especially for younger developers. We also find that 8% of both those who have left a job and those who are looking to leave have left to start their own company, demonstrating the flexibility that developers have today.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/e7e3b347-3cd2-4ead-ab22-181aca1cfc8a_Graph-4.png)\n\n## Emerging trends\n\nWe also examined popular programming languages and developers’ perceptions of upcoming trends, finding that perceptions of many trends differ based on years of experience, with less experienced developers more likely to try out new trends in computing such as automation, blockchain/Web3, and low-code or no-code. \n\n### Popular programming languages\n\nLooking at popular programming languages, we found that Python (21%) and JavaScript (17%) are the most popular languages, followed by PHP (14%), TypeScript (9%), and Java (9%). While Python is popular with developers of all experience levels, JavaScript and C++ are more popular with less experienced developers. PHP is less popular with newer developers, but remains popular among those with more than 6 years of experience. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/5ef96e20-c80f-4648-a11d-9db62cebef6a_Graph-6.png)\n\nContainers and serverless usage\n-------------------------------\n\nContainers and container orchestration systems continue their rise in usage, with 68% of respondents using containers for some projects, and 69% of those using containers expecting their usage to increase in the next year. Additionally, 47% say their usage of Kubernetes specifically will increase this year. Of those not already using containers, 22% believe they will start using container technology this year. \n\nServerless computing, a newer technology that minimizes server management and enables users to focus only on code, is also rising in popularity, though is less widespread than containers. We find that 43% of respondents are using serverless technology, and of those using it 61% expect their usage to continue to increase. However, those not using serverless are less sure if they will adopt it, with only 9% predicting they will start using serverless this year and 39% stating they are not sure if they will adopt serverless. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/7d3e3c16-2b54-4fa9-a529-f43d6909acb9_Graph-7.png)\n\n### No-code/low-code, blockchain, and AI/ML\n\nDevelopers have mixed opinions and usage of other emerging technologies, including automation (AI/ML), blockchain and Web3, and no-code or low-code tools. Fifty-seven percent of respondents have used automation tools and 41% of respondents believe their usage of automation will increase this year, while 43% don’t use automation at all. Although blockchain and Web3 have been discussed widely, 67% say they don’t use blockchain or Web3 technology. \n\nLow-code and no-code tools have gained popularity among developers looking to focus more on application innovation and less on specific software code, however we found opinions of these tools varied widely. In total, 21% stated that low-code/no-code tools are over-hyped, but 12% mention that they make their jobs easier. These opinions differed clearly by years of experience, with developers with fewer years of experience being much more likely to find low-code and no-code tools helpful, and those with more than 15 years of experience the most likely to think they are overhyped. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/3c0affac-08af-4a8c-a462-d75bdf8f2d9b_Graph-9.png)\n\n## Methodology\n\nThis survey was conducted through an online survey link from April 19, 2022, to May 19, 2022, and garnered 2,598 completed responses. The link was distributed to various sample sources, including DigitalOcean email lists and open source groups. Respondents all identified as having technical roles, including frontend, backend, and full-stack developers, system administrators, DevOps specialists, and more. Those without technical roles were screened out of the survey. \n\nRespondents represent 94 countries, with 43% coming from the United States, 15% from India, 6% from Germany, 3% from Canada, and 3% from the UK, and the remaining 30% spread between other countries. The gender breakdown was 87% male, 8% female, 1% non-binary, and 4% who preferred not to say or preferred to self-describe. Respondents represent a range of ages, with 32% of respondents being 25–34, 25% ages 35–44, 21% under 24, and 22% 45 or older.\n\nTo download the full report, which includes additional findings and breakdowns, please download the [full report here.](https://anchor.digitalocean.com/rs/113-DTN-266/images/DigitalOcean-Currents_June-2022.pdf)"}},"created_at":"2024-07-15T21:22:55.256Z","updated_at":"2024-07-22T15:03:22.009Z","config_section":0,"feature_flag_variation_id":null,"defaulted_at":"2024-11-13T14:58:09.981Z"}],"tags":[],"viewers":[],"editors":[],"authorData":[],"featureFlag":null},{"id":745,"type":"currents","title":"November 2021","subtitle":"null","description":"a seasonal report on developer and SMB trends in the cloud","slug":"november-2021","state":"published","last_validated_at":null,"show_on_list_view_at":null,"featured_at":null,"primary_featured_at":null,"created_at":"2021-11-10T22:32:11.000Z","updated_at":"2024-07-15T21:30:28.336Z","open_graph_image":null,"author":null,"auto_publish_at":null,"template":"Currents","feature_flag_id":null,"slices":[{"id":2892,"static_page_id":745,"position":0,"type":"hero","metadata":{"title":{"value":"Currents Research - November 2021"},"subheading":{"value":"A seasonal report on developer and SMB trends in the cloud"},"linkText":{"value":"Download report"},"linkUrl":{"value":"https://anchor.digitalocean.com/rs/113-DTN-266/images/Currents-Nov-2021.pdf"}},"created_at":"2024-07-15T21:30:28.341Z","updated_at":"2024-07-15T21:30:28.341Z","config_section":0,"feature_flag_variation_id":null,"defaulted_at":"2024-11-13T14:58:09.981Z"},{"id":2893,"static_page_id":745,"position":1,"type":"markdown","metadata":{"content":{"value":"## Introduction\n\nSmall and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) make up a huge part of the economy, but many solutions cater to enterprises, and SMBs face unique challenges when it comes to running their business and selecting technology solutions. To gather in-depth information about SMBs of all types and their challenges and use of cloud solutions today, DigitalOcean worked with research agency AspenFinn to conduct research with three groups:\n\n1. **Traditional SMBs:** Businesses with less than 500 employees who provide non-technology products to customers\n2. **Tech-focused SMBs:** Businesses with less than 500 employees who provide technology-focused or hybrid products to customers\n3. **Enterprises:** Businesses with over 500 employees\n\nTo answer our questions surrounding business challenges and identify trends regarding SMBs and cloud usage, a survey was conducted with 2,400 IT decision makers in 48 countries. The main sample consists of a roughly equal amount of respondents in each of the three business types. A summary of findings is below, and you can download the full 50+ page report, which includes regional insights and additional data, by [downloading the report](https://anchor.digitalocean.com/rs/113-DTN-266/images/Currents-Nov-2021.pdf).\n\nKey Findings:\n-------------\n\n### **SMBs need simplicity at a good price from their cloud providers.**\n\nSMBs of all types have less technical staff than enterprises and are more likely to have multiple priorities when it comes to managing cloud solutions. This report found that the responsibility of managing cloud services often falls on the CEO, president, or even the owner of the traditional SMB. On top of limited technical staff, traditional SMBs note cost (19%), technical training and education (13%), and time required to manage services (12%) as barriers to cloud adoption, showing traditional SMBs are calling for cloud solutions that are less complex and easier to manage.\n\n### **There is a knowledge gap amongst traditional SMBs when it comes to the cloud.**\n\nTraditional SMBs suffer from a knowledge gap around cloud solutions, which means their cloud setups are less complex than tech-focused SMBs and enterprises. For example, 48% of respondents from traditional SMBs are not familiar with the term “cloud native,” compared to the 5% of respondents from enterprises who are not familiar with the term. Meanwhile, 56% of respondents from traditional SMBs are not familiar with the term “digital native,” compared to the 18% of respondents from enterprises who are not familiar.\n\n### **COVID-19 has caused an increased reliance on the cloud.**\n\nOf the respondents who reported increased cloud usage in 2020 due to COVID-driven digital acceleration, 82% of traditional SMBs, 82% of tech SMBs, and 92% of enterprises said their cloud usage has continued to increase this year. Sixty-nine percent of respondents believe the cloud has helped their business recover from the ongoing pandemic. Businesses of all sizes say coping with the impacts of COVID-19 is the biggest challenge they face right now, but for traditional SMBs, keeping up with the technology curve is just behind.\n\n### **Cloud native businesses have unique challenges and characteristics.**\n\nWe asked respondents if they consider themselves to be a cloud native business, meaning they leverage cloud solutions to build and scale their business. Enterprises and tech-focused SMBs were more likely to be cloud native businesses than traditional SMBs–64% of enterprises, 58% of tech-focused SMBs, and 35% of traditional SMBs say they are cloud native. Cloud native businesses are also more likely to consider themselves startups, find hiring and training employees on technology solutions a greater challenge, and say the complexity of cloud solutions is more of a challenge than non-cloud native businesses.\n\n## The technology needs and challenges of SMBs\n\nSMBs are often pulled in multiple directions, and have staff who are managing multiple priorities at once. While COVID-19 is the top challenge facing businesses, technology challenges are a priority for both enterprises and tech-focused SMBs, while traditional SMBs are focused on meeting revenue targets and keeping overhead costs down.\n\n### Number of technical staff\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/63b0792a-57ce-43db-ac27-40a9d1bd9ff8_Currents+1.png)\n\nSMBs have less technical staff than enterprises, and may not have a dedicated staff member managing their infrastructure–just 48% of traditional SMBs have a dedicated person managing infrastructure, while 83% of tech-focused SMBs and 92% of enterprises say the same.\n\n### Biggest business challenges\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/b460ae13-da32-43de-988d-93b81b86aebd_Currents-business-challenge4.png)\n\nWhile COVID-19 impacts is the biggest business challenge facing all businesses today, enterprises and tech-focused SMBs cite technology challenges as secondary challenges. Ensuring their technology meets the needs of customers and their business, and keeping up with the technology curve are mentioned as challenges by both enterprises and tech-focused SMBs.\n\n### Top technology challenges\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/1dd83726-843b-4c79-8b8a-6b7aaebe73ca_technology-needs2.png)\n\n19% of traditional SMBs cite cost of services as a top technology challenge, compared to 8% of enterprises and 12% of tech-focused SMB. Time needed to maintain services is also most cited by traditional SMBs, at 12%.\n\n### Average revenue and tech spend by business type\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/a6ba88d4-e586-4ec2-b3d2-e2b6d40e77c6_Currents+4.png)\n\nCost of technology is likely a concern for SMBs as they are paying a disproportionally larger amount of their revenue for tech solutions compared to enterprises.\n\n## Traditional SMB knowledge gap\n\nTraditional SMBs have fewer employees than the other business segments and thus have fewer or no employees dedicated to managing their technology. Those that do have many competing priorities and have the additional challenge of not knowing as much about technology and cloud solutions. There is also lower usage of cloud solutions, software as a service (SaaS) solutions and platform as a service (PaaS) solutions among Traditional SMBs.\n\n### Familiarity with the term \"cloud native\"\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/4efecb0c-b908-4779-90e7-734b9ec046ae_cloud+native+1+final.png)\n\nJust 16% of traditional SMBs are very familiar with the term 'cloud native' compared to 43% of tech-focused SMBs and 60% of enterprise businesses. Enterprises and tech-focused SMBs are also more likely to consider themselves a cloud native business–just 35% of traditional SMBs consider themselves a cloud native business compared to 58% of tech-focused SMBs and 64% of enterprises.\n\n### Single and multi-cloud architectures by business type\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/a7334c76-0db6-4764-a339-374bdc3bffd4_multi+cloud+single+cloud.png)\n\nMulti- and hybrid cloud adoption is more prevalent among enterprises and tech SMBs, while traditional SMBs are more likely to have a single cloud (46%). Additionally, traditional SMBs often start with on-premise infrastructure and graduate to the cloud (51%) compared to enterprise and tech-focused SMBs, who are equally likely to be hybrid or completely cloud-based from the start (65% of enterprises, 64% of tech-focused SMBs). Tech-focused SMBs are most likely to consciously seek out a multi-cloud architecture to meet their needs. \n\n### Cloud services used by business type\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/69cab8b1-c1cf-4fcf-b412-c544dbd9a57f_cloud+services+used.png)\n\nTraditional SMBs have less complex cloud setups and are less likely to use cloud hosting solutions, databases, and containerization systems, with just 9% of traditional SMBs using containerization systems such as Kubernetes/Docker compared to 19% of tech-focused SMBs and 33% of enterprises.\n\n## COVID-19 and the cloud\n\nCOVID-19 recovery is the top challenge facing businesses in 2021 regardless of size–26% of traditional SMBs, 25% of tech-focused SMBs, and 22% of enterprises list pandemic recovery as their biggest challenge. Additionally, reliance on the cloud due has increased both since the start of the pandemic, and many have increased cloud usage just in 2021.\n\n### Change in reliance on cloud infrastructure services\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/e47471ab-0c61-45a3-a6f1-ff7069e63630_covid+reliance+final.png)\n\nOverall, 65% have increased their reliance on cloud infrastructure solutions as a result of COVID-19. Of those who reported increased reliance on cloud infrastructure, 86% say their reliance increased just in 2021.\n\n### Cloud solutions helping businesses to recover from COVID-19\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/8e348d8f-ff4a-44eb-a677-052dcb38b22d_covid+reliance+final+small.png)\n\n## Cloud native businesses\n\nCloud native businesses, those that leverage cloud solutions to build their business, have unique challenges and characteristics compared to non-cloud native businesses. They have more complex setups and therefore find hiring and training employees on technology solutions a greater challenge, and are more likely to identify as a startup.\n\n### Characteristics of cloud native companies\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/939f745f-0897-444d-ad71-b06e02513a8c_cloud+native+companies+small.png)\n\nCloud native businesses are more likely to be enterprises or tech-focused SMBs than traditional SMBs, and 61% of companies that consider themselves a cloud native also consider their company a startup.\n\n### Services used by cloud native and non-cloud native businesses\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/7b08a9b2-157a-4f27-b15a-c7da6e919b98_cloud+native+solutions+final+small.png)\n\nCloud native businesses have more complex cloud setups than non-cloud natives. 46% use a multi-cloud setup, compared to 36% of non-cloud natives, and 23% use containers as a service versus 10% of non-cloud natives.\n\nMethodology\n-----------\n\nWe conducted 2,400 interviews among tech decision makers in 48 different countries from Sept. 22 - Oct 14, 2021. The surveys were conducted in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin, and Japanese. Additional sample was gathered in key countries to allow for a deep dive into these countries.

This movement led to a community forming, one built primarily by enthusiasts and hobbyists. Eventually this evolved into the robust ecosystem we know today.\n\nOpen source now serves as both a hub of technology innovation and a home for coders of all skill levels to contribute, collaborate, and learn. But for many participants of open source, it’s also a place of solace. 31% of our survey respondents said that contributing to open source gives them a feeling of purpose, proof that the community does so much more than simply develop software. Given this strong personal connection many members of the community feel about open source, we knew that we needed to make this year’s edition of DigitalOcean Currents — our third open source focused report — a bit different.\n\n2020 was a year unlike any other, so we wanted to better understand the role open source played in the lives of its members during this unique time. We wanted to learn how the pandemic impacted their participation and what changes they felt within the community. We also wanted to get their perspective on whether or not the core tenets of open source — “free” and “open” — still hold true today.\n\nWe decided to focus solely on those who were entrenched in the community of open source in 2020. While we surveyed more than 9,500 developers, this report focuses on the responses of the 4,440 who actively participated in open source over the course of 2020.\n\nKey Findings:\n-------------\n\n* **Open source participation dropped in 2020, but active members dug deeper.**\n\nThe percentage of respondents who actively participated in open source decreased from 63% in 2019 to 47% in 2020. However, the majority of those who did participate reported an increase in their overall involvement. 63% of respondents said they increased their participation and only 12% reported a decrease.\n\n* **Free software changed the industry, but the individuals creating it could use some cash.**\n\nOnly 12% of respondents were against paying contributors for their work with open source. Of the 88% who were either for payment or undecided about it, close to half of them (47%) believed tech companies should fund the payment of open source contributions. This is a much different perspective than that of the original founders of open source who wanted to keep the software free and separate from corporate influence.\n\n* **The community is generally inclusive, but some argue it could be more ethical.**\n\n59% of participants believe open source is inclusive to people of all demographics, experience levels and locations. This is up slightly (1%) from 2019. Meanwhile, more than a third of respondents believe individuals should be allowed to restrict the use of their code.\n\n## 2020’s toll on open source\n\nWhile overall participation in open source was down from 2019 to 2020, the pandemic certainly impacted the way folks contribute. Of those individuals who actively participated in open source in 2020, 63% increased their participation, while only 12% decreased their participation. \nFor many, their participation also evolved as the pandemic dragged on. While 35% reported that their participation in open source increased overall, 26% experienced varied levels of participation over the course of the pandemic. Participation trends were also different based on geographic region and age. APAC had the largest increase in overall participation at 51% of respondents, whereas the US, UK, and Canada had more respondents noting that their participation remained unchanged in light of the pandemic (44% of US respondents, 43% of UK, and 42% of Canada). Younger respondents (those under the age of 25) were nearly twice as likely than those over 25 to report an overall increase in their participation in open source\n\n### How has the pandemic impacted your level of participation in open source?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/3e2d6f93-9a2c-4daf-9981-bfbe03864f99_G1_impact_participation.png)\n\nThe reasons individuals increased their participation were pretty consistent across the board. Most reported that they had more free time (29%), wanted to learn (28%) or wanted to contribute to a cause they cared about (15%). However, the top answer did vary slightly by gender. The top reason men participated more was that they had more free time, while the top reason for women was their desire to use the time to learn.\n\n### Why did your participation in open source increase during the pandemic?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/018bce43-66c3-4ca8-a18e-69e7eefe13f3_G2_Participation_increase.png)\n\n### Why did your participation in open source decrease during the pandemic?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/ffbf32c5-1bcd-4e98-b48c-e4059f5b31ae_G3_Participation_decrease.png)\n\nMeanwhile, the reasons for decreasing participation varied based on individuals’ situations at home. Those who described themselves as a primary caregiver (either as a parent, guardian or a caregiver of another family member), cited increased family responsibilities as the number one reason for contributing less, while those without caregiver responsibilities were more likely to blame increased responsibilities at work. Among the top three reasons for decreased participation was an overall feeling that individuals were simply too overwhelmed to contribute for non-caregivers and that they had less time for those who were primary caregivers.\n\n### How have open source projects changed in 2020?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/44f5c050-5e97-45f4-b423-a769336749e4_G4_OS_projects_changed.png)\n\nWhile the pandemic drove various trends in participation throughout 2020, it also impacted the types of projects the community was involved in. Across the board respondents noticed an increase in projects focused on health, social, political, and environmental issues. However, when looking at the breakdowns by geographic region we did notice a few outliers. APAC, which was hit hard by natural disasters including the Australian bush fires, flash flooding in Indonesia, and a cyclone in India and Bangladesh, reported significantly higher increases in the number of projects focused on environmental issues. Meanwhile, the US, which was in the middle of a presidential election year, had much higher reports of increased projects for political issues than any other location.\n\nThe community also changed in light of 2020. Participants reported an increased focus on mental health, inclusivity, and networking to help others find new jobs and mentoring to help others learn. Individual respondents also took altruistic actions of their own within the community. 29% helped community members learn and develop their skills,while 17% contributed to mission-oriented projects such as ones focused on pandemic relief or social issues.\n\n### How has the open source community changed in 2020?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/83f8688e-129c-4406-a3d1-81b4fa2e30a2_G5_OS_comm_change.png)\n\n## The economics of open source\n\nWhile open source was originally created to make code free and accessible, many participants are now questioning the practice of not paying individuals for their contributions. More than half of respondents felt that participants should be paid to contribute to open source projects (54%), while about a third remained undecided. Only 12% of respondents were against paying individuals for their contributions. \n\n### Do you think individuals should be paid for their contributions to open source?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/b477f768-51ac-406d-8d33-7c90e9bacc8b_G6_paid_for_contributions.png)\n\nWhen it comes to who should be paid, respondents were pretty split. 35% believed maintainers should be paid, 30% advocated for contributors to be paid, and 25% thought authors should be compensated for their work. Interestingly, younger generations were much more supportive of payment for open source contributions than some of their older peers. 60% of respondents between the ages of 18-24 thought individuals should be paid for their contributions to open source, while only 53% of those between 25-34, 51% of those between 35-44, 42% of those between 45-54, and only 34% of those above 55 years of age agreed. This could certainly spark change in the years to come if more of the incoming developers lobby to have payment for contributions.\n\n### \nWho should be paid for their work on open source projects?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/4e974cfc-4ac3-457d-89a0-2d241241f53e_G7_paid_for_their_work.png)\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/d400e8c4-15a0-4d0b-a702-a5b1db14aff4_G8_Bubble_chart.png)\n \nRespondents were aligned on who should be funding these payments. About half of respondents thought tech companies should fund the payment of open source contributions, while a quarter thought project owners or individuals should pay.\n\n### Who should fund the payment of open source contributions?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/0f260dca-b689-4d24-bb83-99370a4d5aa1_G9_who_fund_payment.png)\n\nDespite the strong desire for participants in open source to be paid, very few actually are right now. Only 14% of respondents are currently being paid for their work in open source and the majority are given minimal time to work on open source projects at their jobs.\n\n### Are you being paid to contribute to open source?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2f32b66a-0bf7-45c7-bd7d-d3731c241fab_G10_Are_you_being_paid.png)\n\n### In an average week, what percentage of your time does your company give you to work on open source projects?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/c02c288f-b0d5-4c7c-a5cb-8f996aed94e3_G11_percentage_of_your_time.png)\n\n## Open Community \u0026 Code Restrictions\n\nThe majority of respondents feel that the open source community is inclusive to people of all demographic backgrounds, experience levels, and locations.This sentiment grew modestly (1%) since 2019. However, just as we saw in 2019, there’s still work to be done. Women and non-binary respondents felt the community was less inclusive than men - 62% of men agreed or strongly agreed that the community was inclusive versus only 46% of women and 42% of non-binary respondents feeling that way. Primary caregivers also found the community less inclusive than non-caregivers, with only 54% of caregivers agreeing or strongly agreeing that the community is inclusive versus 64% of non-caregivers.\n\n### Open source is inclusive to people of all demographic backgrounds, experience levels, and geographic locations.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/00581b13-9fd2-4311-b2e4-ffd4b7ad0d55_G12_agree_disagree_neutral.png)\n\nThe good news for caregivers and other contributors who are pressed for time is that the majority of respondents (79%) believed that part-time participants could still make meaningful contributions to open source. The majority also believed that first-time contributors were welcomed in the open source community (59%). \n\n### Part-time contributors can make meaningful contributions to open source.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/68a71d7d-4f9a-40c7-b9f5-a537332fa026_G13_PT_contributors.png)\n\n### First-time contributors are welcomed in the open source community.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/80dfe386-3710-43d9-b1ad-7652813025e9_G14_First_time_contributors.png)\n\nUnrestricted access to code is another key consideration for the community’s openness. While more individuals were against allowing restrictions for the use of open source code (47%), more than half of respondents wanted to allow restrictions or were undecided. Authors were more likely to advocate for the ability to restrict usage of open source, with 41% of them agreeing with the statement, than maintainers or contributors, of whom only 37% and 31% agreed with the notion of allowing restrictions for open source usage.\n\n### Do you think authors should be able to restrict usage of their open source code?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2dd1e32c-a476-4976-94d6-034c153bd4f0_G15_Authors_restriction.png)\n\nOf those who advocated for allowing restrictions for open source usage, the top reasons cited were situations where the use case goes against the author’s ethical beliefs (35%) or when the organization or individual using the code did not uphold the author’s ethical beliefs (32%).

We decided to look exclusively at technical leaders and founders at small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs).\n\nWe see these organizations as the unsung heroes of the global economy as the size and scale of their output dwarves even the world’s largest companies. Collectively, SMBs represent close to **90% of all registered businesses** and employ half of the world’s workforce.\n\nDespite their large footprint, when it comes to cloud services, SMBs remain underserved relative to their enterprise counterparts. They often face unique technical challenges and constraints when it comes to deploying new technology, yet there’s comparatively little focus on this relative to larger organizations.\n\nOur original goal was to understand what’s most important to SMBs, where their unique challenges lie, and what’s keeping them up at night. But then the world changed, and SMBs became among those hardest hit by the economic impacts of COVID-19.\n\nThe resulting report includes responses from 500 founders and technology decision-makers at small and medium tech companies (under 1,000 employees), collected in June 2020. Their responses provide unique insight into larger technical challenges, but also how business processes are changing in light of COVID-19.\n\nKey findings include:\n---------------------\n\n* **Technical infrastructure challenges make it difficult for new businesses to get started.** Technical infrastructure challenges continue to be a barrier to entry for new businesses. Of the half (51%) of respondents who were company founders, 71% cite the cost of maintaining technical infrastructure as the top technical barrier. Other common challenges are know-how around maintaining technical infrastructure (65%) and the costs to lift and shift part or all of infrastructure (57%). Broadly, these businesses need to be able to experiment (and recognize when it’s time to move on) quickly and cost-effectively. Many startups have one key application. They are not like their larger enterprise compatriots with multiple lines of business. If a company’s new, cloud-based tech doesn't work behind the one thing they do well, it can be disastrous for the business.\n* **IT and cloud security are top priorities for SMBs, as well as remote hiring**. IT security is a top concern for the majority of small and medium businesses: 59% rank it as their number-one priority, and 91% rank it among their top three priorities. Security needs to be embedded in their environment, since the vast majority of small businesses either lack the technical expertise and/or can’t afford to invest in the time required to manually oversee every aspect of cloud security. Ensuring a smooth transition (without creating another liability) when deploying new technology is a key concern here. Cloud spending is also a high priority, though it ranks slightly below IT security. Thirty-nine percent say it is their number-one priority, while 84% rank it in their top three. SMBs prioritize security over factors like reliability and affordability when evaluating a cloud service, particularly features such as firewalls and data protection. Additionally, 40% of respondents say that more than half of the technical positions they are hiring for offer the ability to work remotely.\n* **Demand for digital services in India outpaces the U.S**. With the world’s fifth-largest GDP and one of the fastest-growing cloud adoption rates globally, India is a major cloud services market. Forty percent of respondents in India say that more than half their company’s annual technology budget goes toward cloud services, compared to 15% in the U.S. There is also greater demand for cloud infrastructure in the next 3-6 months, with 80% of respondents in India reporting that they have plans to increase their cloud investment, versus 55% in the U.S. The largest difference between these regions was in hiring, with 63% of Indian respondents saying they’ve increased hiring targets as a result of COVID-19, compared with 30% in the U.S.\n* **COVID has impacted SMB security, cloud spend, and hiring**. The pandemic has impacted a range of key technical areas for SMBs. Sixty-three percent of respondents say that COVID-19 impacted their approach to IT security, resulting in increased investments in multi-cloud disaster recovery availability and reliability, security audits, and data leakage prevention. As a result of the pandemic, SMBs have made investments in cloud technologies as they transitioned to remote work and prioritized resilience. Meanwhile, hiring has remained steady or increased. Seventy-four percent say they either increased or maintained hiring targets during COVID.\n\n## What's on founders' minds?\n\nJust over half (51%) of all survey respondents were founders or cofounders of their companies, while the remainder were technical decision makers. Here’s a look at what’s most important to SMB founders, 88% of whom indicated that they had launched their first companies.\n\n### Respondents who have founded or cofounded a company in the past 5 years:\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/7c8b6299-f897-4cd8-ad87-41452b8b89e7_Chart+1.svg)\n\n### Respondents’ involvement in technical decision making:\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2a8b98ef-f5a4-406f-aa41-1631a1ddde48_Chart+2.svg)\n\n### Respondents who were both founders \u0026 technical decision makers:\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/7665beb0-b01d-47bd-9512-3c853a379029_Chart+3.svg)\n\nEighty-eight percent of founders indicated their current company is the first they’ve started. Of the 85% of startups with a dedicated IT team, 82% have IT teams of at least four members or more. Among founders who do not have a dedicated IT team, 86% manage IT themselves.\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/03f4d25c-b186-4174-b40a-243c7a7c8f67_Spot+illustration+1.svg)\n\n### What technical barriers to entry do you believe currently exist for new businesses?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/3b5d6015-7817-477d-ba3e-121b880234e7_Chart+4.svg)\n\nMost helpful resources when implementing a new technology service:\n- Software development 101 meetups\n- Technical tutorials\n- An informal network of peers, mentors, and advisors\n- YouTube\n\n## IT security priorities \u0026 concerns\n\nIT security is a top priority for the majority of small and medium businesses: 59% rank it as their top priority, while 91% rank it among their top three priorities. It also accounts for a large percentage of company spending, with nearly a quarter (23%) of respondents saying that more than half their company’s budget goes toward IT security.\n\n### How much of a priority is IT security to you?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/48df8caa-b0c5-4517-9852-1f03c4ec633c_Chart+5.svg)\n\n\"IT security is the top concern for SMBs.\" \n\n---------------------------------------------\n\n### What percentage of your company’s budget goes toward IT security?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/18077932-d57c-4a50-a63d-1e1918794d09_Chart+6.svg)\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/5a56a688-ea50-4c67-ab00-a9ff3dec54fd_Spot+illustration+2.jpg)\n\nRespondents’ top concerns with regard to IT security are understanding new threats, firewall/network security issues, and antivirus/anti-malware issues. Eighty percent of respondents deploy specific security measures for their company’s cloud-based infrastructure. The two most commonly used security measures are operating system updates and management, and firewalls.\n\n### Does your company deploy specific security measures for your cloud-based infrastructure?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/18ffd1ac-3c79-4187-9957-4bb85a89b6a0_Chart+7.svg)\n\nWhat’s keeping SMB founders and technical leads up at night?\n- Employees who do not follow IT security guidelines\n- Firewall/network security issues\n- Understanding new security threats\n- Antivirus/anti-malware issues\n- Identity and access management\n\n## What security measures does your company deploy for your cloud-based infrastructure?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Security%20measures%20graphic.svg)\n\n## SMB cloud spending trends\n\nCloud spending is also a high priority, though it was not ranked as highly as IT security. Thirty-nine percent rank it as their number one priority, and 84% rank it in their top three priorities. \n\nWhen evaluating and purchasing a cloud service, SMB founders and tech leaders prioritize security over factors like reliability and affordability. Security features like firewalls and data protection are the two most essential features for decision makers when evaluating cloud services.\n\nWhat’s keeping SMB founders and technical leads up at night?\n- Reliability\n- New features\n- Speed and quality of customer service and support\n- Security\n- Complexity\n- Affordability\n\nMost essential features when evaluating cloud services:\n- Data protection\n- Disaster recovery\n- Compatibility\n- 24/7 support\n- Security (e.g. firewalls)\n\nMost (60%) of respondents say that lower prices for cloud services would make cloud spending more worth the investment, followed by better customer service and support (33%) and more features at the same cost (27%).\n\n### What would make your cloud spend more worth the investment?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/5e4ccb65-c7ca-4778-9af0-68a09b27fbc5_Chart+8.svg)\n\n## Recruiting plans \u0026 in-demand skills\n\nLike most organizations right now, SMBs are continuing to embrace remote work options. When asked in June, 40% of respondents report that more than half of the technical positions they are hiring for offer the ability to work remotely.\n\n### For the technical positions you are hiring for, what percentage offer the ability to work remotely?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/077ba400-612f-433d-a513-66437268415d_Chart+9.svg)\n\nThe most in-demand roles among respondents are service reliability engineer, DevOps manager and frontend developer/engineer. The most sought-after soft skills for IT candidates include teamwork, effective communication skills and dependability.\n\n### What roles are in demand at your company right now?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/5e3e36df-d8c8-48bd-bc99-acdfebf953ee_Chart+10.svg)\n\nTop soft skills for IT candidates:\n1. Teamwork\n2. Effective communication skills\n3. Dependability\n4. Problem-solving\n5. Adaptability\n\n## India: Growing demand for digital services in the world’s next tech hot spot\n\nOur survey made it clear that the demand for digital services in India is huge and outpaces U.S. demand in areas like IT security and cloud adoption. As India’s startup ecosystem and developer community continue to grow, the adoption of cloud and IT services will only accelerate.\n\nAbout 30% of survey respondents were from India, compared with 50% from the United States. Respondents in India reported greater spending on IT security and the cloud, higher demand for cloud services in the next 3-6 months, and significantly more ambitious hiring targets. These findings all point to India as the next digital hot spot. \n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/India%20Illustration.svg)\n\n## Key differences between Indian \u0026 American respondents\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/Key Differences charts.svg)\n\n## The impact of COVID-19 on IT priorities\n\nCOVID-19 has made IT security top of mind. Amid a less secure remote work environment and many unknowns, companies are taking steps to strengthen security measures. \n\nSixty-three percent of respondents report that COVID-19 has impacted their approach to IT security. By far the most commonly cited impact is an increased investment in multi-cloud disaster recovery availability and reliability (70%). Over half (54%) reported that they have conducted security audits with policy compliance as a result of COVID-19, while 48% acquired a data leakage prevention solution and 45% required VPN. Given these trends, we believe that virtual private clouds (VPCs) may also see a rise in popularity as a result of COVID-19.\n\n### Has COVID-19 impacted your approach to IT security?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/54685922-9ccd-4401-a465-6f8434e379aa_Chart+11.svg)\n\n### How has COVID-19 impacted your approach to IT security?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/e3d43ae5-7eb7-48c1-9e27-8e492fb278b8_Chart+12.svg)\n\nCOVID-19 also illustrated the need for companies to have crisis plans in the event that employees have to work remotely for the foreseeable future. Eighty percent of respondents say that their IT department is aligned on maintaining company functions across remote environments.\n\n### How aligned is your IT department to maintain company functions across remote environments?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/60fafbb2-77a2-412f-84fc-616bea7b7e47_Chart+13.svg)\n\nCOVID-19\n--------\n\nWhen COVID-19 spread across the globe, SMBs and enterprise companies alike made investments in cloud technologies as they transitioned to remote work, while most companies plan to increase or expand even further in the future.\n\nSixty-two percent of respondents say that they expanded or upgraded their cloud usage during COVID-19, while only 2% consolidated or eliminated it. In fact, 60% are planning to increase their level of cloud infrastructure investment in the next 3-6 months, and only 6% are planning to decrease it. Among the most cited reasons for expanding/upgrading are the need to increase storage, the need to increase bandwidth and the need for disaster recovery and backup options. SMB and large enterprises will need tools to manage multiple cloud requirements as they spread applications and data across service providers. Simple tools help reduce the complexity for SMBs with limited resources.\n\nConsidering the increase in cloud spend across both SMB and enterprise organizations, we believe that it is more important than ever for cloud providers to account for SMBs’ unique technical requirements. As we discussed above, founders find the costs and know-how associated with maintaining cloud infrastructure are to be key technical barriers. Thus, first-time founders may be particularly frustrated during the COVID-19 period if they are required to both increase cloud spend and infrastructure while overcoming these barriers. The solutions have to be affordable, safe, and reliable.\n\n### From January to June 2020, how did your company’s cloud usage change?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/f0384ec7-d759-4a08-b7f9-571b3c0cd53d_Screen+Shot+2020-08-24+at+2.01.07+PM.png)\n\n### Top 5 reasons companies expanded or upgraded cloud usage during COVID:\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/68fe0d25-15ea-48b5-b4ee-5b0a5cc80164_Chart+15.svg)\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/70a469d2-a4d0-41e2-a99a-a7a314692bc9_Spot+Illustration+3.svg)\n\n### Recruiting priorities amid a new way of working\n\nDespite the massive economic disruption brought on by COVID-19, most respondents have not scaled back on hiring and plan to maintain or increase talent pools in the future. Seventy-four percent of respondents say they either increased or maintained hiring targets, while only 26% have scaled them back. Hiring plans for the future are also optimistic: 64% are looking to increase their pool of technical talent, while only 3% are looking to decrease it.\n\n### What impact has the COVID-19 pandemic had on your hiring plans?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/69735563-d6e7-47c4-ac9a-132869cc4408_Chart+17.svg)\n\n### Are you looking to change your pool of technical talent?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/a52ea657-e912-4889-ad8f-9061991d54b2_Chart+18.svg)\n\nThe pandemic also revealed the importance of knowing which services are essential within your company.\n\n### Top 5 positions that are essential in times of crisis\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/a5488c2d-3e82-435c-9220-bef11c171999_Chart+19.svg)\n\n## Demographics\n\n### I identify as a:\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/503e9363-6be4-4bc9-a5b2-b457cc285cf7_Chart+20.svg)\n\n### How many employees work at your current company (including yourself)?\n\n![](https://doimages.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/93cc79c6-c1de-46d8-b935-33fb4ae07d76_Chart+21.svg)\n\n## Methodology\n\nAn online survey was conducted among a panel of potential respondents.
