Notes for developers

If you are an on-premise operator (administrating your own self-hosted installation of wire-server), you may want to go back to docs.wire.com and ignore this section of the docs.

If you are a wire end-user, please check out our support pages.

What you need to know as a user of the Wire backend: concepts, features, and API. We want to keep these up to date. They could benefit from some re-ordering, and they are far from complete, but we hope they will still help you.
