+## Developer examples
+
+Owner: Kibana application architecture team
+
+The developer examples app is a landing page where developers go to search for working, tested examples of various developer 
+services. Add your a link to your example using the developerExamples `register` function offered on the `setup` contract:
+
+```ts
+  setup(core, { developerExamples }) {
+    developerExamples.register({
+      appId: 'myFooExampleApp',
+      title: 'Foo services',
+      description: `Foo services let you do bar and zed.`,
+      links: [
+        {
+          label: 'README',
+          href: 'https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/src/plugins/foo/README.md',
+          iconType: 'logoGithub',
+          target: '_blank',
+          size: 's',
+        },
+      ],
+      image: img,
+    });
+  }
+```
+
+Run Kibana with developer examples via:
+
+```
+yarn start --run-examples
+```
+
+Then navigate to "Developer examples":
