Despite Japan's continued reliance on on-premises infrastructure (47% of developers deploy on-prem), cloud native adoption has grown significantly over two years. Platform engineering maturity is rising, with 88% of backend developers now working in standardized DevOps or platform engineering environments. Around 100,000 AI developers in Japan are also cloud native, reflecting AI's role as a key driver of cloud native infrastructure adoption. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
