Introduction to Moesif Developer Portal

The Moesif developer portal is an open-source project to help provide a great starting place to quickly build your own developer experience. You can customize and deploy the developer portal without being worried about lock-in or lack of customization. The developer portal is focused on providing a low-friction solution allowing your customers to quickly and easily subscribe and provide authenticated, metered access to your APIs.

You can get started with Moesif Developer Portal by configuring its three primary components:

1. Configure Identity Provider: Use an Identity Provider to secure the front-end application and control access.

2. Configure Payment Provider: Utilize a Billing Provider to facilitate the checkout process and invoice customers for usage.

3. Configure Plugins: Integrate the Developer Portal with a variety of API key provisioning plugins to integrate with your current solution.
