IDC projects the market will grow from $6.0 billion in 2025 to $20.7 billion in 2030, reflecting a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.9%. The Americas region accounts for the majority of market revenue, representing 66.5% of total spend in 2025 and expanding its share to 68.3% by 2030. FaaS growth is being driven by the increasing adoption of FaaS platforms as an orchestration layer for AI applications and autonomous agents; the expansion of event-driven architectures across hybrid, multicloud, and edge environments; and the continued appeal of consumption-based pricing and infrastructure abstraction.</P><P>“The functions as a service (FaaS) market is undergoing a shift driven by the demands of AI applications and agents. FaaS tools are increasingly being relied on to provide an orchestration layer for AI applications and agents.

ADLC applies to both custom and commercial agents, ensuring agents deliver accurate, governed, and traceable outcomes. Teams that rigorously define these dimensions will deploy agents that are useful, safe, and measurable, while those that skip these steps risk unreliable systems. ADLC is essential for operationalizing agentic AI in enterprise environments</P> Market Note Fri, 10 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT Arnal Dayaratna https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=US54659726&utm_medium=rss_feed&utm_source=alert&utm_campaign=rss_syndication <P>This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation, delivered on June 16, 2026, at the IDC-IBM Executive Day in Bucharest, delves into why organizations must rethink how they engineer their infrastructure, data, and software delivery to turn AI ambition into measurable enterprise value. AI now dictates the IT delivery agenda, yet too few projects deliver outcomes — and agentic AI remains stuck in piloting. Success is not about adopting more tools; it is about building integrated, scalable, value-driven foundations.</P><P>This presentation explores:</P><UL><LI>Why production-ready AI demands a recalibration of infrastructure, data, and delivery</LI><LI>What the key prerequisites and strategic road map look like to scale AI responsibly</LI><LI>The leadership imperatives needed to break down silos, embed guardrails, and prove value</LI><LI></LI><LI></LI></UL> Tech Buyer Presentation Fri, 10 Jul 2026 04:00:00 GMT George Mironescu
