Cloud Native Computing (CNC) Tracker - 2023 analysis of the trends and market shares of key players in each CNC segment, including serverless services, cloud-native (CN) databases, and container orchestration.

Steady growth in cloud-native computing; serverless services and cloud-native databases are the strongest performers

Top takeaways:

  • Cloud-native computing (CNC) continues to grow as it establishes itself as a key part of mainstream software development and the first choice for greenfield projects.
  • Serverless services dominate today, representing nearly a third of the CNC market. Omdia expects continuing growth in absolute revenue and relative CNC market share over the next five years.
  • The following essential technology that never fades comprises half of the CNC market: database, storage, and observability, but with distinct CNC features. Compatibility with the Kubernetes ecosystem and the lifecycle behavior of containers is essential.

Key data points:

  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the leader in the CNC market, with a 24.7% market share; Microsoft Azure closely follows with 21%. Oracle, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and IBM represent the second tier behind the leaders.
  • Over the next five years, spending in the overall CNC market will quadruple, by which point Omdia believes the CNC approach to software development will dominate applications. Omdia predicts the serverless market segment to grow even faster, with a factor of nine over five years.
  • While serverless dominates the CNC market, cloud-native (CN) databases are the next biggest segment. In 2022, serverless was worth $16.2bn and CN databases $11.5bn.
