85% globally, or is it on US / other market? my experience with large organisations tells me that they are considering it, but have little idea how to do it, and decision is not yet done. But maybe it's just because I work for large, traditional businesses...

At least I started noticing more shift than it was before, but here's the Port report: still we need a critical debate on most parts, but as per my conversations with large enterprises, they're investing alot of what's gone in IDP and skill set to consider while adapting, https://thenewstack.io/85-of-engineers-say-theyll-use-an-idp-in-2024/

We surveyed 100 engineering leaders from companies using a microservice architecture in production and asked them about their current setup, and their thoughts and motivations behind platform engineering and portal usage.

This is wildly misleading. Who were the 100 companies? Are they customers of Port's? To generalize this to a headline like 85% of Engineers. . . is shockingly bad journalism, and a major turnoff to considering Port in the future.

Ok, if they do microservices, thats not a surprise that they are considering PE. To be honest, it’s difficult to imagine ms without some kind of a Platform :) I am curious about other companies, who are not practicing microservice architecture

hi @Phil Vacca they are not customers of Port, of course. We used a firm called global surveyz and sourced responses from a panel, as is custom in the industry. In the survey you can see many report using a portal, but in actuality 35% of respondents use a spreadsheet with microservice data that doesn't really count as an internal developer portal. so while people rushed to say they were planning to have a portal (and it is a hot tech this year, see , the actual implementation varies greatly, as we had reported in the report. Needless to say, if we do survey Port customers, we'll mention that in the report.

Good to hear, but I still think you are way over-stating the headline without more information about how the poll was conducted, what kind of companies responded, and how those demographics relate to the industry at large.
