Platform engineering: Internal Developer Platforms, golden paths, self-service infrastructure, Backstage, Crossplane, and strategies to reduce developer cognitive load.
Discover the Platform Engineering paradigm: what is an Internal Developer Platform (IDP), how it differs from traditional DevOps, the 4 pillars of modern IDP, and why 80% of organizations will adopt them by 2026.
Design your IDP: core components (control plane, execution plane, API gateway), data layer (metrics, logs, configs), tool integration (Git, CI/CD, monitoring), and scalability patterns. Includes reference architecture.
Create golden paths to accelerate developer productivity: define standards for app types (web, API, worker), design templating systems, implement scaffolding with cookiecutters, and monitor adoption. Golden paths reduce cognitive load by 60%.
Discover Backstage, Spotify's open-source platform for developer portals: manage service catalogs, create custom plugins, integrate CI/CD and monitoring, implement software templates. Includes setup guide and end-to-end example.
