Here's the interesting learning for me: While Kubernetes was most popular overall, the smallest companies (1-5 employees) use Docker Swarm more often (41 percent use Swarm vs. 31 percent that use Kubernetes). Did not know Swarm was this popular. Even overall Swarm is 35% to K8s 42% However, there is a huge proliferation of hosted K8s services - AWS, GCP, Azure, Digitalocean, tons of others. Nobody seems to be making…

#12If 100% of the servers were running PHP, the results would likely be 50% PHP, 50% JavaScript.
These survey writers need to modify their question, or add another one specifically requesting server-side tech so JS can be accurately compared with server-side only languages.

Sadly Docker is replacing Docker Swarm by Kubernetes
They built the ability the launch k8s clusters through the docker tool. There are almost no tweets or posts about Swarm instead, their blog is full of kubernetes posts (https://blog.docker.com/). Even their coolhacks section is about "kubeflow". Top rated session at Dockercon was kubernetes.
i really hope they open up more and talk about their future plans and engage with the community.

#15- Javascript 57% use vs 71.5% I had always thought JS was high on the Stackoverflow survey because it included people using it on the frontend. Not necessarily the case.
- PHP was third at 36%
- Golang was fourth above Java

#16Also, if they are only polling developers are these actually production loads ?
Are the developers now doing operational tasks ?

#17Like the Stack Overflow survey, this one does not distinguish server-side/client-side JavaScript, making it look far more popular than it actually is when considering the data in context of server-side technologies. If 100% of the servers were running PHP, the results would likely be 50% PHP, 50% JavaScript.

I get your point, but they probably asked “what language do you develop with”.

#18> Serverless computing is in a much earlier stage of adoption, with nearly half of developers failing to clearly understand what it is. I've seen this called Function as a Service and honestly I think using that term instead of Serverless would go a long way to fixing this issue because 1) it clearly communicates what it is 2) there's not actually such thing as serverless since the functions are still running on serv…

#19Remember when VMs came out, and people were like, great! Now I can constrain the resources of my OS! I can run 10 OSes on one machine! I'll save so much money !
Then we gave individual teams access to create as many VMs as they wanted, and suddenly all the hardware was used up.
Now do that, but in the cloud, with unlimited resources.

By the way it's worded, it sounds like the question is specifically talking about NodeJS.
