# Do It Yourself Assets

An overview on possible prototypes and reusable assets

In this section, we offer you guidance and reusable assets to develop prototypes. As we developed different prototypes for different demo purposes, we do share guidance, examples and code repositories. You might also consider our [service design page](/sandbox/development-17/follow-methodology/best-practice-example-design-of-the-sandbox-building-permit-use-case.md) to get a methodological best practices on designing a use case.

The prototypes are forward compatible and can be used to gradually increase complexity or decouple frontend and backend development.
