Marketing to developers, which content distribution platform has the best "pull"?

I run a managed API SaaS tool: https://mixpeek.com/ and I'm looking to write a bunch of tutorials for different use cases. Historically i've used medium, like: https://medium.com/@mixpeek/add-search-to-your-s3-buckets-non-text-files-9a676452b4fd but i question if that's the best platform for SEO, relevance, etc.

Anybody have any other suggestions?

    my take on this is content is king - just write write write

    once you've written, post it everywhere (medium, your blog, hashnode, dev.to, and any other relevant forums) and backlink to your blog if possible (medium only allows no-follow links, sadly). All of these different channels will aid in distribution, since they all have their own ways of syndicating content to their users.

      What is the 80/20? The 20% that brings in 80% of results.

      As bootstrappers we dont have the time to do everything.

    In your specific case, I think you should try doing some programmatic SEO which can suit your product quite well (Maybe something like common computer science white paper PDFs in a structured text format).

    Secondly, try answering people's questions via a blog/directly where they ask (make sure to show how to do it manually and only then show your 'easier' solution).

    My favorite is dev.to

    With a free account you can create a product page, this is great :)
