Developer Marketing Playbook

  Engineers don't click your ads, ignore your webinars, and can smell a "growth hack" from a commit away. Marketing to developers means earning trust in the channels they already live in. This playbook covers DevRel, docs, and community as acquisition — for founders selling to people who read the source.

  What's inside:
  • DevRel program design — roles, metrics, and the activities that actually drive adoption
  • Docs as a growth engine — how great documentation becomes your best acquisition channel
  • API developer experience — DX improvements that cut time-to-first-API-call
  • Community funnels — the Discord/Slack → contributor → champion → customer pipeline
  • Hackathon ROI — when they work, how to run them, and how to measure impact

  🇨🇳 开发者营销手册 — DevRel 项目、文档即增长引擎、API 体验、社区漏斗、hackathon ROI。面向卖给工程师的创始人。
  🇯🇵 開発者マーケティング — DevRel、ドキュメント=獲得チャネル、API DX、コミュニティファネル、ハッカソンROI。
  🇰🇷 개발자 마케팅 — DevRel, 문서=획득 채널, API DX, 커뮤니티 퍼널, 해커톤 ROI.
