Alastair Turner, Technical Evangelist at Percona, highlighted that the popularity of cloud database services contributes to sustained use of older versions, stating, 'The people who may then feel they have to retest their entire application, maybe just because internal processes require it, are developers.' This indicates a disconnect where developers hesitate to upgrade versions due to potential rework affecting their applications.
Turner's insights further elucidate that scheduled upgrades often get delayed, which complicates the adoption of newer versions. He mentions, 'There is a belief that it's going to be over quite quickly, and you know that they'll be a backlog of necessary upgrades and modernization projects.' This elucidates the reality that tech upgrades are often tied to comprehensive organizational change.
