The State of FinOps in 2025
How developer teams manage cloud costs across regions and company sizes
Cloud spending can become one of the largest operational expenses for tech companies. It is often unpredictable due to elastic consumption models, hundreds of services and pricing models, and decentralised purchasing by developer teams (particularly in large companies). Cloud financial management (FinOps) sits at the intersection of finance, engineering, and product, ensuring that cloud resources are used efficiently, focusing on aligning cloud spending with business value, not just cost-cutting.
In this report, we examine insights from over 6,300 professional developers working for companies of at least two employees who are using cloud services. We’ll explore the adoption rate of FinOps practices among developer teams and how it differs based on company size and region. Additionally, we’ll cover how teams implement FinOps by looking at the specific practices they have embraced. The report is designed to help technical leaders benchmark their organisations against industry peers and make informed decisions about where to focus their FinOps efforts.
