The survey is out now and you can share your experiences for a chance at $250 in Amazon vouchers. No matter whether you think your org is great or not at managing databases, take the survey. Share some data.
Last year, we had nearly 4000 responses and all the information is available here: https://www.red-gate.com/solutions/entrypage/state-of-database-landscape-2024/
There were some interesting data points that came out of the survey. A few noticeable ones for me:
- 43% of respondents support 4 or more database platforms
- Skills are the top issue with people running multiple database platforms, not surprisingly. Since labor is a big cost, why keep adding platforms?
- Synching app and database changes is the largest challenge reported by 31% of people. I’m glad it’s this low, but I suspect lots of people responding are proud of their work. People struggling might not fill out the survey.
- 88% using the cloud, with 18% completely in the cloud
- Only 20% of people using AI to manage databases. I wonder if this will grow for 2025.
I’m looking forward to seeing the data from this year and if anything has changed.
Take the survey today and good luck winning $250.
