## What this means

Agents almost never raise Scaleway Managed Database for PostgreSQL without choosing it: 1 sessions raised against 12 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 445 sessions in databases are part of a published set of 11,878, 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 databases run can be replayed on [the board](/leaderboards/databases).

If you work on Scaleway Managed Database for PostgreSQL: 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 Scaleway Managed Database for PostgreSQL?

Yes. Scaleway Managed Database for PostgreSQL was chosen in 12 of the 445 judged sessions in databases, a 3% install share, ranking sixth in its category.

### Does Claude Code recommend Scaleway Managed Database for PostgreSQL?

In 8 of the 147 sessions in databases run with Claude Code, which is 5%.

### Do different coding agents treat Scaleway Managed Database for PostgreSQL differently?

Not much. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor chose it at similar rates, between 1% and 5% of their runs.

### How was this measured?

Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 91 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.
