Our statistics for FileMaker

For the old year, we can check our statistics on the FileMaker Servers. The share of Linux continues to raise. In August 2023 Linux overtook Windows, then in July 2024 the Linux share crossed to over 50%. Now we are at about 80%.

If we continue with that adoption, I'd expect Linux to be at 90% end of 2026 and Claris can retired the MacOS and Windows servers in the next years. You all vote withy your wallet, so no complains please. Of course this assumes that Claris sees similar statistics.

Here is a graphics for the OS share:



The versions are also of interest. For me to know what FileMaker versions to support. Since 2023 got end-of-live mark in December, it may not be wise to keep older servers running. Still the 20.x versions are still used on thousands of severs.

Here is the version overview and you see the pattern when versions are introduced and phase out:



I hope these graphics help you and your server uses 21.x/22.x versions.
