What the chart shows

There is no contest at the top of the cloud chart: AWS dominates the cloud-tagged postings by a wide margin across nearly the whole history, with Azure and GCP fighting over a distant second and Heroku fading as teams outgrow the managed-platform tier. Cloudflare appears later as the edge-and-network specialist. Read the relative bands to see exactly how lopsided the demand is, and the sample postings to see which roles name each platform - and how often a listing expects you to know more than one.
