Why treat this like devtools rather than a separate category?

The buyer behavior is nearly identical — engineers researching architecture decisions via AI, valuing precise documentation over marketing claims — so the same AEO fundamentals apply, just aimed at infrastructure-specific questions.

What matters most for infrastructure specifically?

Clear failure-mode and scaling documentation, since infrastructure buyers are evaluating operational risk as much as feature fit, and vague claims about reliability get discounted fast by both engineers and the engines answering their questions.

AEO for Data Infrastructure: get recommended when engineers ask AI what to build on

AEO for Data Infrastructure

Infrastructure decisions get made by engineers asking AI directly about architecture fit, throughput, and failure modes — the same audience and behavior as devtools, one layer deeper into the stack. Docs quality is the primary AEO asset here, same as it is for devtools.

What infrastructure buyers ask AI

"[tool] vs [competitor] at [scale]"
"how does [tool] handle [failure scenario]"
"best [infra category] for [workload type]"

What we optimize

Docs as the primary asset, precise scaling and failure-mode content, and community presence on GitHub and Hacker News — the same fundamentals as devtools, applied one layer deeper into the stack.
