A good developer platform can unlock developer productivity by encouraging knowledge reuse and keeping developers focused on valuable inner loop tasks.
Developer platforms are one of the most important elements of platform engineering, an emerging practice which focuses on providing software developers with all of the self-service toolchains and workflows they need to write, test, and roll out their code. Platform teams build paved roads or golden paths to simplify the route to software delivery.
A well-designed and implemented internal developer platform can supercharge your developers by giving them the tools they need to deploy their code, encourage seamless knowledge sharing, and enable developers to focus on higher value inner loop tasks.
