The popularity of open source software is not in doubt, but little concrete public data exists beyond human-generated surveys on adoption usage. We analyzed over 240 million downloads in Q1 2023 looking for trends. Q1 2023 saw growth across the entire open source industry.

In this blog post, we will explore the state of open source usage in Q1 2023 and the data illustrating how open source is becoming an increasingly important part of enterprise operations.
