Developers researching a new tool tend to be close to a decision — they're comparing options, not casually browsing. That makes Developer Tools one of the highest-intent categories to rank in.
If your tool serves a specific slice of that market — API testing, database tooling, CI/CD, dev infra — a matching subcategory (existing or one you create) usually beats fighting for visibility in the broad category alone. Open Source & Dev Infrastructure and Cloud, Hosting & DevOps are close neighbors worth checking too, since a lot of developer audiences browse across all three.
