The new Grafana developer portal is designed as a centralized resource for developers aiming to enhance Grafana's capabilities through plugins and applications. This portal addresses the growing demand for a dedicated space where developers can access essential documentation, tutorials, and tools, thereby complementing Grafana's existing documentation. It offers a streamlined user experience with resources such as the create-plugin CLI tool, the Grafana Plugin SDK for Go, and guides on signing and publishing plugins. Additionally, the portal facilitates the creation of user interfaces via the React component library and provides guidance on using the Grafana Scenes API to build experiences similar to Grafana dashboards. Developers are encouraged to engage with the community, contribute to open-source projects, and provide feedback to improve the portal further. Under the leadership of Timur Tolzhabayev and David Harris, the launch of the portal is a significant step in enhancing the development experience, promising frequent updates and new content to keep developers informed about the latest in Grafana development.
