Django survey shows PostgreSQL maintains 76-79% dominance while AI tools reach 58% daily developer use

The 2026 Django Developers Survey reveals stability in core technologies with PostgreSQL remaining the dominant database choice (76-79% for five consecutive years) while AI adoption accelerates rapidly. Key findings show 58% of developers now use AI tools daily, with Claude Code (35%), ChatGPT (33%), and GitHub Copilot (23%) as top choices. Despite AI integration, 56% still primarily use AI for chat/advice rather than autonomous coding. The survey of 3,500+ developers also notes rapid adoption of new Python tooling like uv (43% adoption since Feb 2024) and Ruff.
