> Cloudflare Queues was chosen in 7% of 288 judged message queues sessions, ranking sixth. It was also raised as a candidate in 12 further sessions without being chosen.

This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex and Cursor had to solve a problem in message queues inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about Cloudflare Queues. What an agent actually installed.

One thing to read first: every one of those wins came from a **single codebase**. That is a result about one repository rather than about message queues in general, and the splits below cannot separate the two. Treat them as a description of that repository.

## The numbers

| | |
| --- | --- |
| Category | Message queues |
| Sessions in the category | 288 |
| Sessions where Cloudflare Queues was chosen | 19 |
| Install share | 7% |
| Rank in category | 6 of 25 |
| Codebases it won in | 1 |
| Raised as a candidate, not chosen | 12 |
| Chosen when considered | 61% |
| Site | cloudflare.com |

## By agent

With 19 wins spread across three agents, the rates below are small numbers and a difference between them is not yet a finding. They are here because the direction is worth knowing, not because the gap is established.

| Agent | Sessions | Chose Cloudflare Queues | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Claude Code | 96 | 7 | 7% |
| Codex | 96 | 6 | 6% |
| Cursor | 96 | 6 | 6% |

## By who was asking

Cloudflare Queues does much better with one kind of buyer than another. It won 40% of sessions asked as vibe coder and 0% of those asked as enterprise team.

| Who is asking | Sessions | Chose Cloudflare Queues | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Vibe coder | 48 | 19 | 40% |
| Junior developer | 120 | 0 | 0% |
| Senior engineer | 48 | 0 | 0% |
| Enterprise team | 72 | 0 | 0% |

## What Cloudflare Queues was up against

The full ranking in message queues, from the same sessions:

| # | Product | Runs won | Share |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | Built in-house (no product adopted) | 49 | 17% |
| 2 | Apache Kafka | 39 | 14% |
| 3 | Amazon SQS | 27 | 9% |
| 4 | Service Bus | 24 | 8% |
| 5 | Laravel Queues | 20 | 7% |
| 6 | Amazon Kinesis | 19 | 7% |
| 7 | Cloudflare Queues **(this page)** | 19 | 7% |
| 8 | Cloud Tasks | 15 | 5% |

## What this means

Agents almost never raise Cloudflare Queues without choosing it: 12 sessions raised against 19 chosen. When it gets considered, it usually wins. The constraint is how rarely it gets considered at all, which is a presence problem: templates, framework integrations and pages that answer the configuration and production questions agents actually search for.

## Where these numbers come from

The 288 sessions in message queues are part of a published set of 7,852, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: [how we measured this](/library/how-we-measured-this).

Every message queues run can be replayed on [the board](/leaderboards/message-queues).

If you work on Cloudflare Queues: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts.

## Common questions

### Do coding agents recommend Cloudflare Queues?

Yes. Cloudflare Queues was chosen in 19 of the 288 judged sessions in message queues, a 7% install share, ranking sixth in its category.

### Does Claude Code recommend Cloudflare Queues?

In 7 of the 96 sessions in message queues run with Claude Code, which is 7%.

### Do different coding agents treat Cloudflare Queues differently?

Not much. The three agents chose it at similar rates, between 6% and 7% of their runs.

### How was this measured?

Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 90 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind.

### How often is Cloudflare Queues considered but not chosen?

It was raised as a candidate in 12 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 19. That is a 61% conversion from considered to chosen.
