Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### what cloud provider do most API companies use based on job postings AWS leads as the dominant cloud among API providers, named most often by 99 of 209 companies (about 47%), while Azure leads for only 19 companies (about 9%). This contrasts with Fortune 1000 enterprises, where AWS and Azure are nearly tied at 214 and 204 companies respectively (about 28% and 26%). _Comparing cloud adoption patterns across company types is easier when tracking data trends on daily.dev._ ### how often do enterprises mention microsoft office tools like outlook and excel in job postings compared to api companies Fortune 1000 companies name Microsoft Outlook in 74.1% of job postings compared to just 17.2% for API providers, a stark gap reflecting that enterprise postings cover a whole workforce rather than mostly engineers. Microsoft Excel appears in 68.6% of Fortune 1000 postings versus 20.6% for API providers. _Developers building enterprise integrations can follow workforce tooling shifts like this on daily.dev._ ### how common is apigee versus mulesoft in enterprise job postings Apigee is named by 7.7% of Fortune 1000 companies and only 1.0% of API providers, while MuleSoft appears in 13.5% of Fortune 1000 postings versus 7.2% of API provider postings.
