According to a 2024 Gartner report, more than 92% of large enterprises now operate in multi-cloud environments. This reflects strategic priorities such as geographic scalability, high availability, regulatory compliance, and cost optimization.

But with these benefits comes significant complexity. Each provider — AWS, GCP, Alibaba Cloud, and others — exposes its own APIs, semantics, and SDKs. As a result, development teams must reconcile divergent models for storage, databases, identity, and more. The outcome is often fragmented codebases filled with conditional logic, code forking, duplicated workflows, and costly rewrites when onboarding new providers. For large organizations, this slows delivery, increases operational risk, and erodes the developer experience.
