An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is an ecosystem that empowers developers to manage the entire application lifecycle from development to deployment autonomously. As a vital component for organizations, the implementation of an IDP often presents a ‘Build vs. Buy’ dilemma: should you construct your own IDP, tailored to your unique needs, or would it be more efficient to purchase a pre-built solution? This decision is not a trivial one, and making the right choice can significantly impact your team’s productivity and your organization’s bottom line. In this article, we will conduct a transparent analysis of both options, exploring the benefits and challenges associated with each. We aim to provide you with comprehensive insights that can guide you in making the best choice for your team.

At Qovery, we build our frontend using Nx and rely on the official nrwl/ci GitHub Actions. Our frontend requires third-party tokens during compile time, but we would like to avoid hardcoding them or using the .env file to define our tokens. The latter exposes our source code directly on GitHub, and even though it's not sensitive data, we don't want it to be easily scraped. As probably many others, we've faced issues when we dug into environment variables using this reusable workflow: https://github.com/nrwl/ci?tab=readme-ov-file#limited-secrets-support https://github.com/nrwl/ci/issues/92 https://github.com/nrwl/ci/issues/44 So, I wanted to share the lessons I learned from this experience.

Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto orchestrator for deploying and managing containerized applications. Its versatility and robust ecosystem have paved the way for innovative tools that leverage its capabilities, extending its utility beyond mere container orchestration. Among these tools, Crossplane and Qovery stand out for their unique approaches to simplifying cloud resource management. While they serve different purposes, both share a common foundation in utilizing Kubernetes as an orchestration layer, underscoring a shared belief in Kubernetes' ability to manage all types of workloads, including external ones.

Welcome to our hands-on tutorial on Kubernetes, the powerful open-source platform often abbreviated as k8s. In this tutorial, we are diving into the world of container orchestration, simplifying the complexities, and making Kubernetes accessible for developers. Whether you are just starting out or looking to enhance your existing skills in Kubernetes, this guide is designed to walk you through the process step-by-step. We will cover the basics of setting up Kubernetes, deploying a simple "hello world" app, and understanding how to manage and scale your containerized applications with ease. Let's start with some of the challenges of Kubernetes followed by the steps to setup and deploy a simple Kubernetes application.

Let's face it! Kubernetes is the standard for container orchestration, reshaping how we deploy and manage applications for the last 8 years - do you even remember when you run "docker run <your-image>" on an application server? 😁. However, it's crucial to recognize that Kubernetes was never initially designed with the everyday developer in mind. This article aims to explore this dichotomy and ultimately explain why Internal Developer Platforms, have become increasingly relevant in bridging this gap.
