Sustainable software engineering (SSE) is the practice of minimisingthe environmental cost of software. It is an emerging discipline at the intersection of climate science, software practices and architecture, electricity markets, hardware, and data centre design. In this report, we’ll look at which developers are involved in building sustainable software and which SSE principles are most commonly utilised. We’ll investigate how developers’ experience levels, location, and the size of the organisation they work for –amongst other factors –affect the rate at which they utilise SSE and which principles they most often adopt. Later, we’ll take a closer look at what motivates developers to utilise SSE principles, as well as which challenges they face in doing so. We’ll demonstrate how developers’ motivations and challenges change based on several different factors, such as their experience levels.

While the idea of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is not new, a lot of progress has been made over the past few years that has made it highly desirable for both end users and software developers. The aim of this report is to provide an overview of the current state of integration of generative AI functionality by developers into their applications. We will begin by investigating the extent to which developers have started incorporating generative AI functionality into their applications, and how this differs across regions and companies of different sizes.

What makes SlashData different from other research providers? We focus on developers as the deciders of the future. They are the early adopters and signal the trends to come. Our methodology is rigorous and airtight, ensuring our data is of the highest quality and exceeds industry standards. Our research connects: Developer awareness, adoption, usage and satisfaction Feature importance and pricing sensitivity Competitive positioning and switching behaviour So you don’t just get numbers. You get decision context: what the data means for your roadmap, budget, or go-to-market. How reliable is the data? We run large-scale, independent, global developer research surveys with consistent methodology across waves. Our methodology is rigorous both at clearing our fraudulent (or inaccurate) data and in weighting for proper distribution and reduced margin of error. We take pride in our supreme data quality, and we can prove it. Our results are defensible evidence you can take to an exec review without thinking twice. Can this support a business case or budget proposal? Yes. Many clients use our data to: Justify entering a new developer segment Prioritise features based on quantified demand Secure budget for DevRel, AI tooling, or marketing Validate pricing or packaging changes We translate population estimates and sentiment data into clear, actionable foresight, not charts. How do you ensure credibility with our executive team? We take pride in our rigorous methodology. Our work is: Global and independent Methodologically rigorous Focused on clean data Transparent in assumptions Clear about weighting and limitations. We are confident our insights can stand up to any CXO or Board scrutiny. Do you replace internal research or complement it? We complement it. Internal Analytics tells you what your users are doing. We tell you what the market is doing, including non-users and competitor users. That combination gives you: Internal performance clarity External positioning confidence Together, it reduces blind spots and uncovers opportunities I don’t see my company/product on the list. Can you benchmark us against our competitors? Most probably yes. Even if you don’t see your product in a report, we can pull extensive data for you on awareness, trial, usage, satisfaction, and feature perception. Please get in touch and we can dive in it together. Is this relevant if we sell AI tooling? Absolutely. For AI vendors, we support: Developer adoption tracking Productivity gains Tool benchmarking on awareness, engagement and more Enterprise buying criteria insights Security and compliance sentiment ROI perception We help you understand both AI tool builders demand and buying friction. How long do projects typically take? It depends on complexity. Some projects are focused and fast. Others involve deeper segmentation or spread across multiple geographies.
