In June of 2020, Tidelift fielded our annual managed open-source survey of technologists who use open source to build applications at work. Over 600 people shared how they use open source software today, what holds them back, and what tools and strategies would help them use it even more effectively.In this post, we share the first of nine key findings.

In fact, 44% of respondents believe their organization’s leaders are likely to encourage the use of the more open source for application development during the downturn, while only 2% expect its use to be discouraged.

And as companies turn to open source for its cost-saving benefits, we hope—as has occurred in previous open-source migrations—they stay with open source for some of the other larger transformational benefits.Want the full survey results in one report?
