B2D

B2D is an acronym that can refer to several different concepts across business, technology, and other fields. There is no single universally accepted definition, and its meaning is usually clarified by the context in which it appears.

One common usage is business-to-developer, or B2D, a marketing and product strategy that targets software developers as a primary audience. In this sense, B2D emphasizes developer experience, API-first design, and tools such as SDKs, thorough documentation, code samples, sandbox environments, and vibrant developer communities. The aim is to attract, support, and retain developers who build on the provider’s platforms or use its services.

In software development and DevOps contexts, B2D can stand for build-to-deploy or a similar pipeline-oriented concept. In this usage, B2D describes the automation that moves code from commit through building, testing, and deployment to production or staging environments. It highlights continuous integration, continuous delivery, and release-management practices that streamline the path from source to deployable software.

Other uses of B2D may exist in different organizations or niche domains. If you encounter the term, the surrounding text usually indicates which meaning is intended. In ambiguous cases, it can refer to a product name, a project acronym, or a specialized workflow.
