The Developer Journey

Discovery: A developer is looking for a new tool or technology to solve a problem they are facing in their project. They might start by searching online, reading blog posts, or asking for recommendations from colleagues. In this stage, developer relations can help by providing clear and accurate documentation, blog posts and other resources that help the developer understand what the tool or technology does, and how it can be used to solve their problem.

Evaluation: Once the developer has identified a few potential solutions, they will likely want to try them out and see how they perform. Developer relations can help by providing access to free trials, demos, or sandbox environments where the developer can test out the tool or technology. They can also help by answering questions and providing support during this evaluation process.

Implementation: If the developer decides to use the tool or technology, they will need to integrate it into their project and start using it in their work. Developer relations can help by providing clear and detailed documentation, tutorials, and examples to help the developer get started quickly and easily. They can also help by answering questions and providing support as the developer runs into issues or has questions during the implementation process.

Adoption: Once the developer has successfully implemented the tool or technology, they may want to start using it more widely in their organization or community. Developer relations can help by providing resources and support to help the developer evangelize the tool or technology, and by hosting meetups, conferences, or other events to bring developers together and encourage adoption.
