Developers Decide One Cloud Isn't Enough
Oracle Blog, Monday, November 17th, 2025
Developers have significantly greater choice today than even just a few years ago, when considering where to build, test and host their services and applications, deciding which clouds to move existing on-premises workloads to, and which of the multitude of open source projects to leverage.
So why, in this new era of empowered developers and expanding choice, have so many organizations pursued a single cloud strategy? The proliferation of new, cloud native open source projects and cloud service providers over recent years who have added capacity, functionality, tools, resources and services, has resulted in better performance, different cost models, and more choice for developers and DevOps engineers, while increasing competition among providers. This is leading into a new era of cloud choice, where the new norm will be dominated by a multi-cloud and hybrid cloud model.
