The developer-roadmap repository is a comprehensive educational platform that provides interactive roadmaps, guides, and learning resources to help developers advance their careers. Hosted at roadmap.sh, the project is built with TypeScript and serves as a community-driven knowledge base covering an extensive range of technology domains and career paths.
The repository maintains an impressive collection of over 80 interactive roadmaps spanning multiple specializations. These include foundational paths like Frontend, Backend, and DevOps roadmaps, each with beginner variants, as well as specialized tracks for emerging technologies such as AI and Data Science, AI Engineering, and AI Red Teaming. Language-specific roadmaps cover popular programming languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C++, PHP, Ruby, and Kotlin. The collection also extends to framework-specific guidance for React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Django, Laravel, Spring Boot, and many others. Infrastructure and database specializations are represented through roadmaps for Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch. Beyond traditional development paths, the platform offers roadmaps for emerging roles like Product Manager, Engineering Manager, Technical Writer, DevRel Engineer, and Forward Deployed Engineer.
Beyond roadmaps, the platform provides interactive best practices guides covering Backend Performance, Frontend Performance, Code Review, API Security, and AWS Best Practices. The repository also includes question-based learning modules for JavaScript, Node.js, React, Backend, and Frontend development, enabling developers to test and improve their knowledge through practical assessments.
