+# Development
+
+This document explains the development process for the Numaflow Java SDK.
+
+### Testing
+
+After you make certain changes to the Java SDK implementation, you would like to use it to build a 
+brand new UDF image, and run it on a pipeline to verify the image continues working well with the Numaflow platform.
+In order to do this you can follow these steps:
+
+1. Make the changes.
+2. Update your local repository using maven, to reflect your latest changes. This can be done in the root
+directory by running: `mvn clean install` (make sure that the version in the `pom.xml in the root and examples
+directories match).
+3. Build your test images, and test them in a pipeline.
+
+There exists a script `update_examples.sh`, which you can also use while testing, for your convenience.
+
+If you would like to build and push a specific example, you can run:
+
+```shell
+./update_examples -bpe <example-image> -t <tag>
+ ```
+The -bpe flag builds and pushes to the remote registry. <example-image> must be
+the id tag used within the execution element of the desired example. It is recommended to specify a tag,
+like `test`, as the default is `stable`, which is used by the Github Actions CI. For example, in order to push
+the example, for the reducer SDK, specifically the sum function, you would run:
+```shell
+./update_examples -bpe reduce-sum -t test
+```
+If you would like to build and push all the examples at once, you can run:
+```shell
+./update_examples -bp -t test
+```
+Both `bpe` and `bp` first build a local image with the naming convention 
+`numaflow-java-examples/<example_id>:<tag>`, which then gets pushed as 
+`quay.io/numaio/numaflow-java/<example_id>:<tag>`. If while testing, you would like 
+to build your image locally, without pushing to quay.io, you can run the following in the 
+examples directory:
+
+```shell
+mvn jib:dockerBuild@<example_id> -Ddocker.tag=<tag>
+```
+
+If you would like to build all example images without pushing, in the examples directory you can also run:
+```shell
+mvn clean install -Ddocker.tag=<tag>
+```
+
+### Deploying
+
+After confirming that your changes pass local testing:
+
+1. Clean up testing artifacts.
+2. Create a PR. Once your PR has been merged a Github Actions workflow will be triggered to build, tag (with `stable`), and push
+all example images, so that they are using the most up-to-date version of the SDK, i.e. the one including your 
+changes.
+
+### Before Release
+
+Before releasing a new SDK version, make sure to update all references from the old version to the new one.
+For example, the version in the `pom.xml` in the root and example directories. For [reference
+](https://github.com/numaproj/numaflow-java/pull/89/files#diff-9c5fb3d1b7e3b0f54bc5c4182965c4fe1f9023d449017cece3005d3f90e8e4d8).
+
+### Adding a New Example
+
+If you add a new example, there are a few steps to follow in order for it to be used by the update script and the Docker
+Publish workflow:
+
+1. Add the example to the `pom.xml` file in the examples directory, within an execution element. Note that the
+id tag you specify must be exactly the same as the quay.io repository name for the example. 
+2. Add the id tag you specified in step 1 to the executionIDs array in `update_examples.sh`.
+3. Add the id tag you specified in step 1 to the execution_ids matrix in `build-push.yaml`.
