technical guest post sites for dev tools

Here are some solid technical guest post / contributor sites for dev tools where you can pitch articles about developer tools, workflows, engineering lessons, and related topics:

Dev-tool / engineering publications

• Hackernoon — strong for dev tooling, startup engineering, productivity, and architecture posts.
• Dev.to — good for practical dev-tool tutorials and tool comparisons.
• Smashing Magazine — accepts highly practical front-end / web dev content, including tooling.
• CSS-Tricks — great if your dev tools relate to frontend, CSS, or web workflows.
• InfoQ — more selective, but excellent for deeper engineering/devops/tooling content.
• The New Stack — good for devops, platform engineering, cloud-native tools.
• DZone — often publishes technical tutorials and tool-focused content.
• SitePoint — useful for web dev tooling and workflow articles.
• FreeCodeCamp News — great reach if you can write a beginner-friendly, useful tutorial.

DevOps / platform / cloud tooling

• BMC DevOps Blog
• JFrog Blog
• Docker Blog
• Kubernetes Blog (very selective)
• HashiCorp Blog
• GitLab Blog
• CircleCI Blog
• DigitalOcean Community — good for how-tos and tooling guides.

Engineering blogs that sometimes accept guest posts or contributed content

• LogRocket Blog
• Snyk Blog
• Semaphore Blog
• Raygun Blog
• Atlassian Developer Blog
• Postman Blog
• Stackify Blog

If you want distribution more than “guest post”

These aren’t classic guest-post sites, but they’re useful for dev tools:

• Medium publications like Better Programming, Level Up Coding, ITNEXT
• LinkedIn Articles
• Substack partnerships/newsletters
• Dev.to syndication

Best outreach angle for dev tools

Pitch content like:

• “How to reduce CI build times with X”
• “A practical guide to debugging Y with Z”
• “Comparing 5 tools for [specific workflow]”
• “How our team improved developer productivity by 30%”
• “Lessons learned building a CLI / SDK / codegen tool”
• “Step-by-step tutorial with real code and screenshots”

Quick note

If you’re looking for sites that explicitly accept guest posts, many engineering blogs have tightened policies. The best strategy is to:

1. Find the site’s “Write for us,” “Contribute,” or “Editorial” page
2. Pitch a specific problem/solution article
3. Include code examples, benchmarks, or a concrete workflow improvement

If you want, I can also give you:

1. a longer list of 50+ sites,
2. sites filtered by DA / traffic / niche, or
3. a guest post pitch email template for dev tools.
