Akamai recently commissioned two studies, one targeting IT leaders and the other focused on developers. The study found that IT decision makers are expected to increase their use of distributed cloud services over the next 12 months, with more than one-third saying that benefits of distributed cloud are mission critical to their IT strategy. Their developer-focused survey found that more than half were already using distributed cloud services in some capacity during their development. The surveys also saw alignment between IT decision-makers and developers regarding the top use cases for distributed cloud. What is driving this adoption of distributed cloud? What challenges do developers face when they embrace distributed cloud? How do they deal with security issues? How do they perceive the emergence of GenAI as a critical technology? Check out our in-depth discussion to deep dive into these studies with Liam Dodd, Data Storyteller, SlashData and John Garrett, Founder and Partner, ClearPath Strategies.
