Research from SlashData for the Cloud Native Computing Forum (CNCF) has found that the global number of cloud-native developers has grown by one million in the past 12 months to reach 7.1 million.
Open source container orchestration technology Kubernetes has been a CNCF project since 2016. It has quickly become the de facto standard for managing cloud-native environments.
The study reported that 30% of developers have used Kubernetes in the past 12 months, which puts the number of back-end developers using the container technology at approximately 5.1 million.
