Future Roadmap visibility

Aeseir — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 00:27:31 GMT

Does anyone know if there is a publically visible roadmap for Arcgis JS SDK (and other SDKs for that matter)?

I can only find current and past releases, which is great, but would be really good to know what the future holds in store for purposes of upgrades/breakin-changes etc.

A rule of thumb is to have development-ready stories for 1-2 sprints, and this way works best for me. Besides that, I have stories that are 30-60% ready, and I start writing them almost every time I see a good idea or problem, and then iterate over them if there's a need.

Hi @Aeseir , There is a road ahead presentation at the developer summit each year. Other than that, there really isn't much available publicly.

Not sure how this helps but I'll bite.

I'm curious to know how can you be even 5% ready when you don't know what is coming your way?

@Aeseir another option is to follow the feedback-js-api-next repo: https://github.com/Esri/feedback-js-api-next/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md. In the CHANGELOG,, we try our best to doc changes for the "next" release.

Thanks @AndyGup this looks promising.

Out of curiosity is this also the best place to raise recommendations for the improvements of the SDK or stick to the community forum?

Things that will improve developer experience when working with SDK while potentially make your life easier maintaining the SDK.

@Aeseirto raise recommendations for improvements to the SDK use https://community.esri.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/arcgis-ideas.
