Internal Developer Platform (IDP)
An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is a self-service portal designed to streamline and automate the entire software development lifecycle for engineering teams. It provides a centralized interface that simplifies complex tasks like deploying code, managing infrastructure, and accessing essential tools.
By abstracting away the underlying complexity of cloud environments and internal systems, an IDP empowers developers to operate with greater autonomy. This reduces dependencies on DevOps and IT teams, accelerates feature delivery, and ensures consistency across the organization. The result is a more efficient, productive, and secure development environment, allowing engineers to focus on building value, not on managing infrastructure.
