# Developer Documentation

Welcome to the **Data Platform Platform technical developer documentation**! 
Your data Projects can be driven from end to end using code on Data Platform.

In this guide, you will learn how to use the platform’s micro-service architecture to fully customize and configure almost any component using our **Data Platform API references** and **the Software Development Kits (SDK)**.

?> This guide is intended for advanced technical users who want to develop a high level of customization, or leverage existing work and integrate it with the Data Platform.

## About our technical stack

If you wish to develop custom code to create the best AI and analytics applications, let us let you in on some of the **Data Platform's technical stack**.

* [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/) is the container engine that is used in the backend to deploy & run any process or application on Data Platform.
* [Python 3](https://www.python.org/downloads/) is used for all our back-end components related to data processing and data science.
* [NodeJS 13.11.0](https://nodejs.org/en/) is used for the API & APP components. It will be required if you intend to work on these locally on your machine.
