Before you use it

Limits that matter

The official page links the full dataset through a third-party hosting destination (data.world), and survey findings are subject to the methodology/sample limitations described on the report page; use them directionally rather than as universal market shares.; Survey respondent geography and sample composition are bounded by the survey methodology; results should not be treated as a census of all developers or all enterprises worldwide.; This is the 2023 annual survey: a dated snapshot, not continuously updated buyer intent; later CNCF surveys may differ in questionnaire, sample, and market conditions.
