5 Tips for Building the Best Developer Experience Possible

1

SendGrid

Part of the solution was integrating with the email provider SendGrid. Twilio acquired SendGrid in early 2019, which made me excited about building the integration. I've often considered Twilio as the cream of the crop regarding DX. Their documentation is incredible, they provide meaningful, business-focused use cases on their site, and things just tend to work. So naturally, I assumed SendGrid would be this way since they were 4 years post-acquisition.

Postman

In May of 2022, I was invited to a customer summit for Postman to talk with industry leaders about APIs. While I was there I was asked to be on a panel to talk about developer experience (DX). I was a little taken aback because developer experience wasn't something I had any experience with. I reluctantly agreed, hoping in my mind that I was going to be able to pull something out of thin air in front of all the summit attendees.
