DDEV Live Usage Statistics

Data as of September 10, 2026

These are live DDEV usage numbers from DDEV's opt-in usage reporting, pulled from Amplitude each time this site is built. Most sections cover about the last 7 days, and many link to the public Amplitude chart behind them, so you can look deeper yourself.

Every user who keeps reporting on helps shape DDEV's future: it tells maintainers which platforms, versions, and features matter most, and where to spend their limited time. The usage reporting docs explain what data is collected and how to opt out.

Heads up: Amplitude changed its terms for free projects, and DDEV's usage tracking now exceeds the free event quota partway through most months. The Amplitude-based stats below are significantly incomplete as a result. See ddev/ddev#8614 for details and status.

DDEV Sponsorship

Not Amplitude data, but just as important: the DDEV Foundation runs on sponsorship, and daily-updated sponsorship figures are published as an open JSON feed. Here's monthly recurring sponsorship income over the period that feed has history for, against the current goal of $12,000/month (83.5% there so far).

DDEV Usage Growth

Unique monthly users over the last year (as far back as Amplitude's data retention allows). Shown monthly rather than weekly, since a single quiet holiday week reads as a cliff at weekly resolution but is barely visible once averaged across a whole month.
