Symphony Program

Welcome to the collaboration space for the Symphony Program! Symphony is focused on providing a quick and standard approach to App and Chat Bot building on the Symphony Platform. Symphony provides a number of resources and developer community events to help share knowledge and foster a community of sharing amongst our clients and partners. 

Developer Outreach/Community:

Symphony has a growing developer community that has both an online and regional presence. We are reaching out to the community through 3 main channels: Meetups, Developer Newsletters, and StackOverflow. Meetup locations and details will be presented both on Symphony.com and Meetup.com regionally. Please check there for the latest details and by signing up for events will give you instant access to Developer Newsletters and Development Updates from Symphony. StackOverflow is a common place for developers to work with others on common development efforts and answer questions. Symphony is an active part of this community and will be looking for questions tagged with "symphony-chat".

Developer Documentation: 

A critical component to development is documentation. The Symphony Platform has a rich set of APIs and features that can be leveraged to build numerous flexible solutions. Developers.symphony.com is the main resource for development. Please bookmark this page as it will soon be updated with brand new getting started materials and will be continuously updated with the latest developer information.  

Open Source:

The Symphony Program has a large number of open source projects where community participation is encouraged and welcome. There are currently 59 projects running as part of the program, with hundreds of thousands of lines of code, spread across the following subject areas:

  • API Bindings: Interfaces between Symphony's APIs and common programming languages, such as Java, Python, and JavaScript.
  • Bots, Apps and Integration Examples: Example implementations of chat bots, Extension API web applications, and webhook style integrations (Github, Jira, Salesforce, etc..) on the Symphony platform
  • Utilities: Scripts to automate bulk administrative activities on the Symphony platform
  • Containers: Web application wrappers for running HTML-based apps in a native, high-performance environment, including the original Minuet wrapper, and the next-generation Symphony Electron-based container.
  • Platform: Components of the Symphony back-end, such as end-to-end encrypted WebRTC, and the common libraries for Symphony 2.0.

We invite you to explore these projects in Github, use them in your own software, and contribute to these initiatives. These projects are released under the Apache 2.0 open source license.
