-> What is an Internal Developer Platform (IDP)

How we curate this site #

The initial contributors to this site built Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) in many different contexts. Think product managers for internal developer tooling at industry leaders like Google, tech management at McKinsey, and solution architects building internal platforms for their clients. Some of them are working now for Humanitec, the market leader in IDPs.

On this site, we want to gather, share and synthesize all our knowledge and experience around building IDPs. We want to provide a space where we can share systemic problems around internal developer tooling and software delivery. We want to contribute to a better understanding of common and complex problems and share paths to conceptual solutions.

In addition, we want to provide you with all the relevant news, events, and information about IDP-related tooling.
