AI in production applications
Shiftedconfidence 85%Nashawaty's framing of AI adoption metrics has shifted from presenting current snapshot data to emphasizing the dramatic growth trajectory over time. While the underlying trend remains consistent, he now leads with the historical progression to underscore the acceleration rather than just stating current penetration rates.
"51 % of our production applications, according to our research, showed that they're running AI in production applications as of August of 2025. So right now, I would guess that that's probably much higher, in the 70s percent."
Source on theCUBE ↗"About a year ago I ran a survey. We found that 18 % of production applications are using AI. We ran that survey nine months later, that number jumped to 54 %, and I guarantee you that number's much higher today for all production- based applications."
Source on theCUBE ↗Developer complexity abstraction
Hardenedconfidence 80%Nashawaty's position on complexity abstraction has hardened from observing vendor capabilities to identifying it as a fundamental barrier that must be addressed for organizational modernization. His analysis has become more strategic and outcome-focused.
"they're abstracting away the complexity of being a professional developer, allowing for the citizen developer to do the job. That's what I saw was a big difference from last year, and from previous years to now."
Source on theCUBE ↗"When we talk about modernization efforts with CIOs, we see that the two barriers of entry for modernization is complexity and skill gap issues. That's what I was hearing in the keynote today, how to address complexity and skill gap issues."
Source on theCUBE ↗Multi-cloud adoption patterns
New positionconfidence 75%Multi-cloud strategy has emerged as a major focus area for Nashawaty, with detailed statistics and strategic implications now central to his analysis. This represents a significant expansion from minimal mentions to a core analytical framework.
"We're seeing that with CISOs. CISOs are moving to more practical."
Source on theCUBE ↗"we're seeing in our own research that 94 % of organizations are using two or more clouds. 65 % are using four or more clouds. They have to adopt the multi- cloud to hybrid cloud approach."
