Developer Guidelines
This section collects engineering guidelines for contributing code to RedPanda — from opening a pull request to conventions that are easy to forget during day-to-day work (RBAC, SSR security constraints, and secret-handling rules).
Contribution guides
Pick scoped product work, publish catalog listings, or author documentation for the docs site.
Contribution opportunities
Scoped product work — social providers, Humanizer locales, and docs translations
Publish listings
Share building blocks and playbooks on the RedPanda catalog
Documentation contribution
Author docs pages, preview locally, and submit a PR
Engineering guidelines
Conventions for code contributions — pull requests, security, RBAC, theming, notifications, and workers.
Submit a pull request
Fork the repo, run checks locally, and open a code PR on GitHub
Security guidelines
Service key rules, RLS guidance, and SSR state management safety
RBAC (roles & permissions)
How app-level roles/permissions work and how to secure routes correctly
DaisyUI theming
Semantic color classes, theme-safe UI tokens, and shadcn-to-DaisyUI mapping
