Build applications

Azure DevOps Services | Azure DevOps Server 2022 - Azure DevOps Server 2019

Build custom applications or services that integrate with Azure DevOps to access a user's Azure DevOps resources and perform actions programmatically, instead of needing access through a UI.

This can be helpful for writing a script to automate a regular to-do item for your team, or building a product offering for customers that pulls the latest status for Azure DevOps. Consider building with Azure DevOps to help you with:

• Creating new bugs discovered by customers
• Tracking your team's open work items on a dashboard
