Navigating the database landscape in 2024: Shifting skills to match constant demands

What is the state of the database landscape in 2024?

We surveyed 3,849 database professionals from every sector and every company size, from developers and DBAs to IT leaders and CTOs across the globe to find out.

The key finding? That the pace of change in our industry is faster than ever. This is causing a recurring challenge to emerge: the rapid need for skill diversification from data professionals everywhere.

• 79% of businesses use two or more database platforms; introducing a new level of complexity for those responsible for database management
• Cloud adoption is increasing; with 88% of respondents using the cloud in some capacity, though many are implementing sub-optimal migration strategies
• Organizations are struggling to keep up with the pace of AI; 20% of respondents are using it for database management and a further 35% would like to

Facing the dual challenge of optimizing operations for efficiency while needing to bridge the skills gap isn’t easy. And demands will only keep increasing as data grows.
