</aside> <p>Creating the best developer experience (DevEx) is paramount, but it can also be a challenge.  Overall, DevEx is a critical factor in the success of technical products, as it directly impacts the experience and satisfaction of the developers who use them.</p><h2 id="what-is-developer-experience"><strong>What is developer experience?</strong></h2><p>Developer experience refers to how developers feel when working with a particular technical product, tool, or service. DevEx includes the entire developer journey, from the initial evaluation and testing to the ongoing use and maintenance of the product.</p><p>The term developer experience emerged in the early 2010s as a response to the growing importance of <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/everything-you-need-to-know-about-developer-communities/"><u>developer communities</u></a> in the tech industry. Before this, the focus was primarily on user experience (UX) and customer experience (CX).</p><p>The rise of cloud computing and <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/what-is-saas-marketing/"><u>software-as-a-service (SaaS)</u></a> platforms led to a growing need for developers to integrate and customize these services. As a result, companies began to realize the importance of providing a positive experience for devs using their platforms and tools.</p><p>The concept of developer experience was first popularized by companies like Heroku, which promoted the idea of a developer-centric platform. Heroku emphasized the importance of providing a simple, intuitive, and productive experience for devs building applications on their platform.</p><p>Other companies soon followed, and the concept of DevEx began to gain traction as a key factor in the success of developer-focused products. Today, DevEx is seen as crucial for companies that rely on dev communities, and it’s a pivotal factor in attracting and retaining top developer talent.</p><p>Developers look for tools that are easy to use, well-documented, and provide quick and accurate results. They also want access to helpful support and resources that can assist them in solving any issues.</p><p>A positive DevEx can also lead to increased productivity, faster innovation, and better software quality. To improve developer experience, companies may focus on providing excellent documentation, great user interfaces, seamless integration with other tools, and proactive support. They may also gather feedback from their <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/how-can-developer-marketers-get-the-most-out-of-developer-communities/"><u>developer community</u></a> to understand <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/5-developer-pain-points-backed-by-dev-marketing-pros/"><u>developer pain points</u></a> and opportunities for improvement.</p><h2 id="what-makes-a-great-developer-experience"><strong>What makes a great developer experience?</strong></h2><p>Daniel Palma, Data Engineering Manager at Brooklyn Data Co., considers bad documentation, the lack of free trials, no community support, and no preparation for software engineering practices, <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/the-developer-experience-dx-formula/"><u>huge mistakes when trying to offer developers the best experience</u></a>.</p><p>So, what makes a good DevEx? A.K.A., what are some developer experience best practices to keep in mind?</p><h3 id="community-support"><strong>Community support</strong></h3><p>As Palma says, “You don't have to create a community, but make sure you do your best to enable the creation of one and support and nurture it to your best abilities — the members will be your best friends in business development.”</p><p><a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/what-is-the-impact-of-your-developer-community/"><u>Developer communities can have a huge impact</u></a> on organizations. For example, in our <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/state-of-developer-marketing/"><u>State of Developer Marketing 2023/24 Report</u></a>, 50% of our respondents said their communities allow them to gather developer feedback, which is a huge benefit of belonging to groups like these.</p><p>Having a robust and responsive support system in place, as well as an <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/top-developer-community-guidelines-you-should-be-using/"><u>active community with clear guidelines</u></a>, can greatly enhance developer experience. So, ensure you have access to expert help, forums, and user groups.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/mm0OeAqUsXUbfogvgIgyMS0YaGjipb83HBv-aKTeNGIwiQhoh6jtPsW3xKgKyZDM8G0AkN8rbhiY_KIb5NaowQw2T20bVhKzmdJCrFIwkEHQBvZIe6XJZlySh6iJjm6Fc1GNXT5FHZ59WCSOo0phj4Y" class="kg-image" alt="" loading="lazy" width="1412" height="586"></figure><h3 id="great-code-and-apis"><strong>Great code and APIs</strong></h3><p>In order to offer a fantastic experience to your <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/the-complete-guide-to-developer-personas/"><u>developer audience</u></a>, you’ll want to provide well-documented code and APIs, since this helps developers to quickly understand how to use your product or contribute to a project. Some even use AI tools, <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/how-can-developers-use-chatgpt/"><u>like ChatGPT, to help build code samples</u></a>.</p><p>However you decide to create it, quality is vital, as it will impact the experience of the users. So, ensure they:</p><ul><li>Are easy to understand and use,</li><li>Cut down the time developers need to spend on figuring out API functionalities,</li><li>Showcase how to create clean and efficient code,</li><li>Cover common use cases and help developers avoid mistakes, and</li><li>Create confidence and trust in your product.</li></ul><h3 id="solid-documentation"><strong>Solid documentation</strong></h3><blockquote>“Incorrect documentation is often worse than no documentation.” – <strong>Bertrand Meyer, Professor of Software Engineering and Provost</strong></blockquote><p>Having documentation is a vital component of the product development process—it also equips developers with the tools they need to easily use a product, API, or platform. <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/spilling-the-tea-on-writing-for-developers-as-a-marketer/"><u>Technical documentation</u></a> can be used to onboard new users, provide customer support, and so  much more.</p><p><a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/how-to-create-killer-saas-documentation-for-developers/"><u>All documentation should be accurate</u></a> and reviewed often, up-to-date, and easy to read.

They allow developers to have experience using your product, which is crucial since devs enjoy a hands-on experience. </p><p>They also reduce the risk of developers feeling like they wasted money on the wrong product—with a free trial, your audience gets to test out the product’s features and functionalities, and understand whether they’re suitable to their needs without having to commit financially.</p><p>And, by letting developers play around, you help them build a case for your product with the stakeholders in their business. Win-win.</p><p>Free trials can lead to increased trust and credibility as well, since orgs are showing how much they believe in their product and are willing to let it speak for itself. You can also gather feedback from developers by allowing them a trial of your product, which can help you to streamline DevEx.</p><p>And, of course, you make it easy for <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/the-importance-of-developer-advocates/"><u>developers to become advocates</u></a> by providing a high-quality trial experience too.</p><h3 id="the-right-tools"><strong>The right tools</strong></h3><p>Another important element of great developer experience is tooling.</p><p>For example, effective frameworks that simplify common tasks and onboarding tools for a smooth process, managed APIs, low- or no-code experience to make workflows easier, and more, help you to offer a great DevEx.</p><blockquote>“The success of a product isn't just about creating a brilliant solution—it's about ensuring that users embrace it with open arms. Yet, product adoption and onboarding often pose challenges for product teams.</blockquote><blockquote>“The steep learning curve of some tools leaves users feeling baffled. On top of that, unhelpful onboarding experiences make it even harder for them to become proficient with the product.</blockquote><blockquote>“So, how can product teams overcome these challenges? By using the right tools that help understand how users interact with their products and optimize the onboarding process for a smoother product experience.” – <a href="https://www.developermarketing.io/9-product-adoption-and-onboarding-tools-for-amazing-product-experiences/"><strong><u>Hasanpasha Abdulov, SaaS content specialist</u></strong></a></blockquote><p>You can also consider hiring a Developer Experience Engineer; they specialize in creating efficient experiences for developers by helping the product development process, for instance.</p><h3 id="smooth-onboarding"><strong>Smooth onboarding </strong></h3><p>A smooth, as well as quick and easy setup, is crucial to provide developers a good experience with your product.

By providing a positive, efficient, and productive experience for devs, you can drive success and growth in today’s fast-paced tech landscape.</p><p>Here are a few reasons why you should prioritize developer experience:</p><ul><li><strong>Increased adoption and retention</strong>: a positive experience makes developers more likely to adopt and continue using your product—so, user-friendliness, effectiveness, and overall satisfaction are key for long-term adoption.</li><li><strong>Better product advocacy</strong>: when developers are happy with your product, they can become advocates, recommending it to peers and within their networks.
