In today's world, where cloud resources and data management tools play an increasingly critical role, the concept of an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is gaining momentum. Imagine a platform where developers seamlessly design, build, and deploy applications. That's precisely the promise of IDPs. But here's the highlight: with great power comes greater responsibility. Security within IDPs isn't just an optional add-on; it's the core essence. This article is a guide for teams eager to strengthen their developer platforms. It journeys through the various aspects of IDP security, delving deep into its diverse world. From the fundamental principles of access control and Kubernetes management to the elevated considerations of building a security-centric organization culture, we've got it covered. Whether you're new to the IDP environment or a seasoned developer, our objective remains unchanged: to arm you with the knowledge to transform your developer platform into an impenetrable fortress.

Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) are gaining significance in contemporary software development because they can transform an organization's software delivery by facilitating automation and productivity across large teams or by permitting smaller teams without dedicated DevOps engineers the ability to deploy at scale. The migration of existing projects, protocols, and infrastructure to the new platform can make the transition to an IDP challenging for businesses. A learning curve is also associated with IDP tools, processes, and cultural shifts for development teams. For maximizing the benefits of an IDP, cross-functional collaboration between development and operations teams (DevOps) is essential. In this article, we will discuss not only these challenges but also how to combat these challenges with best practices.

Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is a game-changing innovation that has transformed the technology landscape. In the previous article, we discussed in detail the effectiveness of these developer platforms in terms of developer efficiency, faster product releases, frequent collaboration, etc. However, one aspect that is of paramount importance, especially from the business perspective, is the ROI. The first question any manager will ask is, "What will be the ROI of investing in an IDP"? And your response should be in numbers, of course. This is exactly what we will discuss today. Not only we will explore the meaning of ROI in the context of IDPs, but we will also go through how to measure the ROI, what constitutes a good ROI, and how to improve it. Let's start with the basics of ROI and IDP.

Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) have become the cornerstone of efficient development, serving as the central hub where development teams access the tools and resources necessary for coding, testing, deploying, and maintaining software applications. As software development continues to evolve rapidly, IDPs are crucial in maintaining a competitive edge. This introduction sets the stage for the technical insights that will follow, sharing 5 tips for effective Internal Developer Platform management.

At Qovery, we're using Rust for 10+ projects. If you are familiar with Rust, you know how painful it is to release a binary for multiple architectures. Even if the toolchain natively supports it.

We at Qovery are excited to offer our Preview Environments for free to all open-source projects. A Preview Environment is like a sandbox where developers can see how changes to the code will work before these changes are final. This is great for projects where many parts, like the backend, frontend, and databases, must talk to each other.

Blue-green deployments have emerged as a beacon for seamless updates in software development. By juggling two environments, blue (old) and green (new), changes are tested and rolled out with minimal hiccups. Yet, traditional environments, with their database schemas and code differences, often throw a spanner in the works. Enter ephemeral environments. Imagine creating a production-like environment, using it just as long as needed, and then discarding it immediately after use. This nifty addition to the blue-green strategy simplifies deployments; you’ll see precisely how in this guide. Dive in for a mix of theory, real-world examples, and actionable steps, all geared to streamline your next deployment. Let's start with the blue-green deployment strategy.
