Hey Splunk community! 

We are excited to announce that Splunk is launching the Splunk Developer Program in public preview. 

Our mission is simple: To provide the necessary developer focused resources (tooling, licenses, support, news, and community)  that enable Splunk app developers to create innovative, scalable solutions that drive business outcomes for Splunk customers and partners. Whether you are just getting started or you’re a seasoned app builder, we are here to support your journey every step of the way.

Who is this for?

If you can relate to any of these statements below, you’re exactly who the Developer Program is built for:

• You want to build technology that helps bring new data into Splunk, automates certain key processes, and creates easy-to-use turnkey solutions for unique business needs.
• You have OR want to build, deploy and manage custom apps, either published on the Splunkbase or are privately within your organization.
• You are interested in extending core Splunk functionality with custom commands, advanced visualizations, third-party integrations etc.
• You are a Splunk Admin, ITOps professional, SecOps engineer, Data Engineer, a Splunk Partner or an individual excited to learn and build on the Splunk Platform. 

If you said YES to one or more of these, the Splunk Developer Program is here to help take your developer dreams to the next level! 

If you are a Splunk Partner (or wish to be one!), you are welcome to join the Splunk Developer Program for your individual app dev needs; while the Splunk Partner Program supports your organization. For more information about becoming a Splunk Partner, visit the Splunk Partnerverse.

What the Splunk Developer Program offers

We are making it easier than ever to turn your ideas into impactful solutions that expand what’s possible with Splunk. By joining this program now, you get access to:

• A Unified Developer Portal: SDKs, APIs, detailed documentation and developer tools in one centralized location.
• Learning & Development: Tutorials, workshops and courses to sharpen your skills.
• Advisory & Support: Engage with Splunk experts through devinfo@splunk.com, #appdev Slack channel and community events.
• Community Recognition: Build your reputation, showcase your apps on Splunkbase and get recognized through community highlights like the Developer Spotlight blog series.
• Feedback & Roadmap: Opportunity to be part of the Developer Advisory Council, who help us guide the direction of our tools, resources and initiatives.

The new Splunk Developer Program will be offered on top of a modernized dev.splunk.com experience. While you will still get access to all of the docs, API reference and existing tutorials, joining the developer program will give you exclusive access to new tooling, support, community events and recognition programs all from a centralized hub.
