Research Disclaimer: Armature sells growth services to dev tools. This study is part of our broader work on how to influence coding agents choices and get products picked. As agents take over more and more parts of the coding journey, there is one specific part everyone outsources to their agent, from vibe coders with no software background to senior engineers: selecting which service to implement for a specific need in an existing codebase. Let’s take the example of selecting a database: A vibe coder builds a personal travel app and realizes the app resets at each connection. They ask Claude Code: I need you to store what I input in the app somewhere so that next time it’s still there when I reopen the app Claude Code analyzes the codebase and answers 5 minutes later: You need a database and Neon fits well because it has a free tier, is simple to install and won’t pause your app like Supabase does if you don’t use it too often. The user accepts and the agents installs it. Done.…
