Hi everyone, we're running Springtail’s annual database survey and need your input!

Most database reports focus on rankings and popularity. We wanted to dig deeper into how databases are actually used in production: e.g. read replication, sharding, workload mix, deployment models.

The survey is short (~90 seconds) and anonymous by default. We’ll be publishing the results openly for everyone, with optional early access if you want it.

Take the survey: https://survey.springtail.io/database-survey-2025

See last year’s results: https://www.springtail.io/startup-database-trends

Thanks for your help!
