Developer Lifecycle Management
The workflow your team runs in: application, provisioning, build stages and gates, multi-team reviews, and activity tracking.

Reduce manual developer and app approval workflows
Bring external developers into your API, set the standards they have to meet, and see what they build, without running every step by hand.
THE CHALLENGE
Onboarding and governing developers by hand costs you speed and control
WHY ENGINEERING TEAMS CHOOSE PARTNER FLEET
Run a developer program you can govern without the manual work
Onboarding runs as a workflow
Set the application, review, and approval steps once. Developers move through them on their own, and your team reviews instead of coordinating every request by hand. Credentials are issued through the system you already use.
Standards you can enforce without friction
Set the quality, security, and legal bar a developer must clear, built into the stages they move through. Your team holds the standard, and developers see exactly what's required, so review stops being a back-and-forth over email.
Visibility into who has access and what they build
See where every developer is in the process. Spikes and inactive developers surface on their own, so you hold the ecosystem to a standard without watching it.
THE PLATFORM
What engineering teams run on Partner Fleet
In-App Marketplace
Where approved integrations surface inside your product. Engineering sets it up in about a sprint, then it’s off your plate, with your partnerships team managing listings from there.

Common Questions
- A developer experience platform manages the lifecycle of the third-party developers who build on your API: how they apply, get credentials, build, submit for review, and ship. For external integration programs, it covers everything around access, not just documentation. Partner Fleet runs this as one governed workflow, from intake and provisioning through approvals, publishing, and activity tracking.
- No. A developer portal gives partners access to docs and credentials. Partner Fleet governs everything around that access: application screening before it, staged build and approval workflows during it, and activity tracking after it. Most teams keep the documentation they already host, and Partner Fleet wraps the lifecycle and the visibility around it.
- No. Your API gateway manages runtime access and traffic. Partner Fleet manages the business lifecycle around it: who is approved to build, what passes technical, security, and legal review, where approved apps publish, and how partner activity is tracked. It connects to the gateway you run today rather than proxying requests through itself.
- Partner Fleet connects to the system you already use to issue credentials and API access. When a developer clears approval, the workflow triggers provisioning through that connection, so access is granted as part of the flow instead of a manual runbook. Deeper automation, including developer self-service provisioning, is on the near-term roadmap.
- Yes. You configure separate stages for technical QA, security clearance, and legal sign-off, each with its own owner, criteria, and required actions before a developer advances. Every decision is logged. Security and legal teams work inside the flow with a full audit trail, instead of fielding requests over email on someone else's timeline.
- Partner Fleet sits beside your API, not in front of it. It does not proxy your traffic or store your credentials, so runtime access and customer data stay in your environment. You control what each developer can access, and every approval, credential, and review is logged for audit.
