The *Veteran-facing Services Platform* is the set of technologies (and processes) that veteran-facing services on the [VA.gov](https://www.va.gov) website. VA teams who want to release a digital service for veterans using the Veteran-facing Services Platform should use this [Handbook](http://department-of-veterans-affairs.github.io/va-digital-service-handbook/) to learn how to do that.
