Industry Findings: With constrained access to Western cloud supply chains, Russian enterprises and public institutions are deepening engagements with domestic platform providers that bundle PaaS, data services, and localized AI runtimes — a practical response to sanctions-driven import limitations and an accelerating local ecosystems’ capability set. This has increased interest in integrated platforms that reduce dependency on foreign-managed runtimes while offering scalable developer tooling and localized data governance.
Industry Progression: A clear industry milestone was Yandex.Cloud’s public financial reporting (Mar-2025) showing strong revenue growth and product expansion, which underlined the health of domestic platform economics and encouraged larger Russian enterprises to consolidate on locally operated PaaS stacks. That disclosure reinforced vendor credibility in-country and prompted additional enterprise procurement cycles for locally managed app runtimes, data platforms, and integration tooling that align with Russian legal requirements.
Industry Player Insights: Market playres influencing Russia include Yandex Cloud, SberCloud, VK Cloud, and Rostelecom etc. The broader vendor list includes Selectel and MTS Cloud; each vendor has recently expanded managed runtime, data, or AI offerings that reduce Western dependencies. Yandex.Cloud’s product roadmap and SberCloud deployments gave enterprises practical alternatives to foreign PaaS services, and operators such as Rostelecom and Selectel provide backbone and interconnection services that enable scalable, compliant platform deployments.
