The internal developer platform and golden paths: Scaffolding for cloud-native development

In recent years, modern application development has extended far beyond developers merely dealing with the source code of an application. Many complex aspects and critical tasks related to the build, test, and deployment cycles have progressively shifted toward development teams. However, larger organizations often suffer noticeable productivity losses and frequently face the challenge of regaining control over the resulting ‘wild growth’. In this session, Natale Vinto explains the advantages of implementing an internal developer platform (IDP) and how developer teams can benefit from consuming ‘golden paths’ for their daily work. At the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer view of how ‘golden paths’ provide a robust foundation for cloud-native development with out-of-the-box support for immediate guidance to components, resources, and relevant documentation.
