Objective [Description]

The objective here is to build a customizable, easy to use API Portal (Dev Hub) for developers to look through available APIs, links to docs, test endpoint availability & register new APIs for their applications through Developer Hub Plugin

Key Requirements:

• Simple Setup, Easy to Deploy & Authenticate
• Secure & able to adhere to RBAC Policies
• Capable of being branded to any organizations brand standards
• We need to enable appropriate workflows that allow for self-service within the portal
• (Not Necessary in v1) Consider how we can surface analytics on the developer portal via dashboards, graphics, etc.
• (Not Necessary in v1) Ideally works in a multi-cluster context

Use Case (App Dev):

Jane Doe is the Application Developer for a very large banking organization (10,000+ employees). Jane & her team have been working on a banking application that provides all kinds of features/services available through her bank. Jane recently got tasked with registering this new banking application in the developer portal, set it up, test the services availability through the portal & provide the appropriate documentation on how to use the APIs. In order to scale to the number of teams/applications in the organization Jane needs the ability to handle registration (herself & her application), Once registered she needs to:

• Test/validate within the portal that the service is reachable
• Appropriate authentication mechanisms are in place to make a number of types of API calls (GET/PUT/DELETE/etc.)
• Add instructions, documentation, links to documentation, etc. to each registered API
• Lastly, validate metrics that are being surfaced for a varying array of request response type (200/300/400/500)

Time Line

• Developer Preview: February 2026
• Tech Preview: June 2026
• GA: October 2026

Out of Scope

• Full User Management
• Non-Authenticated (External) Dev Portal - To be in following release(s)
