# Grafana plugin developer's guide
You can extend Grafana's built-in capabilities with plugins. Plugins enable Grafana to accomplish specialized tasks, custom-tailored to your requirements. By making a plugin for your organization, you can connect Grafana to other data sources, ticketing tools, and CI/CD tooling.
You can create plugins for private use or contribute them to the open source community by publishing to the [Grafana plugin catalog](/grafana/plugins/). This catalog has hundreds of other community and commercial plugins.
If you are a Grafana plugin developer or want to become one, this plugin developer's guide contains the tutorials and reference materials to help you get started.
## Plugin basics
You can create several types of plugins, including:
- **Panel plugins** - Visualize data and navigate between dashboards.
- **Data source plugins** - Link to new databases or other sources of data.
- **App plugins** - Create rich applications for custom out-of-the-box experiences.
> **Note:** To learn more about the types of plugins you can build, refer to the [Plugin management]({{< relref "../../administration/plugin-management" >}}) documentation.
## Contents of this developer's guide

- **[Introduction to plugin development]({{< relref "./introduction-to-plugin-development" >}})** - Learn the fundamentals of Grafana plugin development: backend development, data frames, error handling, and more.
