Developer credentials covering languages, platform SDKs, APIs and application architecture.
Developer exams test how you build against a platform rather than how you write code in the abstract: SDK usage, authentication flows, retry and idempotency patterns, event-driven design and the deployment model of the target runtime.
Language certifications remain relevant where a specific runtime dominates an industry, and they tend to test the specification closely — including behaviour most developers never memorise.
