New Developer Center official launch date - 5/18

Category: Infrastructure, Informational

Summary: The new Developer Center at https://developer.genesys.cloud/ is being launched and existing URLs will be redirected to the new site.

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/ 74 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: All existing Developer Center URLs will be redirected to the new site. Affected URLs:

Would it be possible to add a region switcher to dev tools that is available after you are logged in? Also the ability to show you which region you are logged in to? I have customers in most regions so I'm using the dev tools in each of those regions, but now with the new site, I have to log out which clears my cookies from the login site for that region

@TheRealKevinGlinski We're not making substantial improvements to the existing dev tools right now, but that is a very good feature request. It's so good that it's already been implemented in the new dev tools project I'm working on. We're going to be replacing the dev tools with native features within the dev center instead of having a standalone app. The new auth model will allow you to be signed into multiple accounts in multiple regions (even multiple accounts in the same org) and switch between them at will with a click.

In the interim, you'll need to use multiple browsers and/or launching windows in private/incognito mode to log into different accounts simultaneously.
