Introducing the Minted Developer Experience

Welcome to the new Minted Developer Experience - your guide to the development and deployment technology at Minted. First thing's first - what does "DX" or "developer experience" mean? This is one of many definitions you might find, but at Minted it means:

• how you interact with Minted's software projects to make code changes to them,
• how you iterate on features and functionality and test those throughout the project's lifecycle
• the ability to work on projects in isolation but also in a coordinated way with other project for which there are dependencies, and
• how software you work on is build, staged for deployment, and released to customer traffic

The rest of this introduction covers the sections of this guide and how to proceed.

The navbar at the top of the page shows the major sections of this guide, which are explained in detail below. As well, the left-hand navigation allows you to drill in to sub-sections within these to navigate to a particular chapter within the guide.

The right-hand navigation on each page provide a table-of-contents for the current chapter you are viewing.

The bottom of each page has backward- and forward- navigation to take you to between chapters of the documentation.

Arrow navigation (← and → arrows) take you between chapters, and T toggles between light and dark themes of the guide.

This documentation is built to provide you with information on the following subject matters:
