Summary: The new Developer Center has launched for an open beta! Check out the site at its new URL: https://developer.genesys.cloud/
Context: The new Developer Center is an entirely new single-page website built to provide a richer experience. Its key features are:
- Single-page application powered by React - this new architecture significantly reduces page load times as well as data transfer and payload sizes for each page after the app is loaded initially.
- Client-side rendering - the single-page app fetches the raw markdown content for a page and renders it to HTML in the browser. This is one of the key features that drives the smaller page payloads.
- Theme support - several dark themes, yay!
- Server-side search - the dev center's client-side search has been ripped and replaced to use the Genesys Cloud
- Single domain - the new site operates solely at https://developer.genesys.cloud/ and does not offer regional variants, though the AWS CloudFront CDN is used to cache the site globally. The developer tools on the new site are still available for all Genesys Cloud regions. Simply use the newly added region selector that prompts you for your region when authenticating.
- Launchpad for future experiences - while a tremendous amount of work went into building the new site from the ground up, the real payoff is yet to come. Throughout the rest of this year and beyond, new client-side features are being added to deliver richer experiences. Work is already underway, so keep an eye out for additional announcements about new features and tools over the next several months and beyond.
Impact: The new site will exist in parallel with the existing site (https://developer.mypurecloud.com) during the beta. Once the beta is complete, all of the existing URLs will be redirected to the new site. The old and new site have identical content at launch.
Date of Change: The new site is in open beta, effective immediately. The old site will be redirected to the new site no earlier than 5/1/2021.
