A survey of 400+ professional developers worldwide examines adoption and maturity of cloud-native platform engineering tools across workflow automation, application delivery, and security/compliance. Key findings: GitHub Actions leads workflow automation recommendations (91%), Helm dominates application delivery adoption (34%), and cert-manager tops security maturity ratings. Armada earns the highest maturity scores overall. For AI workflow management, most organizations use a hybrid platform approach (35%), though teams with custom internal platforms are best positioned to extend them for AI capabilities. The report uses an Adopt/Trial/Assess framework based on usefulness and maturity ratings, with tools like Helm, Backstage, kro, ArgoCD, Keycloak, and OPA reaching 'Adopt' status.
