Survey highlights:
- Download the report after some light leadgen.
- “The research effort included a total of 1,024 individuals, all of whom have a role that involves daily use of Spring.”
- 77% of the respondents have been using Spring Boot for 3 years or more. So, these are people very familiar with Spring and Java.
- Industries: technology companies (30%) and financial services companies (20%). All major sectors are represented, including retail (8%), services (6%), and healthcare (5%).
- 37% work at organizations of 5,000 to 10,000+ staff. Of that, 28% from 10,000+ orgs.
- So, a bit heavy on tech companies, but good enough on both industries and diverse spread of organization size.
- “52% of developers surveyed use Spring boot as their only or primary development platform.”
- No slow-down in use: “75% of respondents expect Spring Boot usage to grow over the next 2 years.”
- Uses, lots of API use, interesting:
- Lots of public cloud only use: “When asked where they deploy their Spring Boot apps, 57% of respondents were either deploying exclusively to public cloud (21%) or in a hybrid mode with both on-prem/private and public cloud deployments.”
- – Most running in containers – 65% containerize their apps, 30% planning to.
- …to run in kubernetes: 44% already running in kubernetes, 31% plan to in the next 12 months.
- [This should make us ask the question: how does Spring Boot support kubernetes? Cf. Spring docs entry, another write-up.]
- So, what do people use in Spring. If APIs are one of the top problems to solve with Spring, it is as you’d expect:
- 83% are using a microservices “development style.”
- 56% use Spring Cloud.
- 34% Spring Cloud Gateway (77% interested – big spread).
- 22% using Spring Cloud Data Flow (big spread again with 69% interested).

If you’re interested in more, we’ll be talking about this next week, September 21st at 5pm Amsterdam time over on Tanzu TV.
