The Voice of Developers
The Developers Alliance helps policymakers and industry leaders understand how rules work in practice so decisions reflect the realities of the people who build the digital economy.
The Cost of Leaving Developers Out
When developers are left out of policy debates, important technical context gets lost. The rules become harder to build for, innovation slows, and smaller teams struggle to keep up — all without improving safety for consumers.
The Developers Alliance closes that gap by giving developers the information, tools, and opportunities to share their expertise where it matters most.
Developer's unique perspective and expertise is what enables the rules governing innovation to succeed in practice — not just on paper. As developers work to build and ship product, we will be their advocate and give them the resources they need to raise their voice in important policy discussions.

Our Work to Advance Better Policy
Here's how the Alliance equips, empowers, and advocates for developers:
Research on Developer Impact
The Developers Alliance conducts large-scale surveys that surface the practical consequences of technology regulation. These findings give policymakers hard data on what developers are facing - increased costs, implementation barriers, and technical challenges that often go unseen until the damage is done.
Technical Guidance for Policymakers
The Alliance provides direct technical guidance to legislators through briefings, testimony, and hands-on consultation. We help decision-makers understand how proposals will impact software, infrastructure, and product teams before those rules become law.
Events That Bring Developers Into the Conversation
The Alliance hosts webinars, roundtables, and briefings that connect developers with policymakers and industry leaders. These gatherings create opportunities for developers to share technical context directly with the people writing and implementing technology rules.
Clear Analysis on Emerging Rules
The Alliance publishes clear, practical analysis on emerging regulations, highlighting what developers need, where proposals fall short, and how to set workable rules. This insight helps policymakers, journalists, and industry leaders understand the stakes when it comes to innovation, competition, and building today's digital economy.
