Welcome to the wonderful world of developing Agent Integrations for Datadog. Here we document how we do things,
the processes for various tasks, coding conventions & best practices, the internals of our testing infrastructure,
and so much more.

If you are intrigued, continue reading. If not, continue all the same :point_down_tone2:

## Getting started

To work on any integration (a.k.a. [Check](faq/faq.md#integration-vs-check)), you must [setup](setup.md) your development environment.

After that you may immediately begin [testing](testing.md) or read through the [best practices](guidelines/pr.md) we strive to follow.

Also, feel free to check out how [ddev](ddev/about.md) works and browse the [API](base/api.md) reference of the base package.
