The SWIFT’s Approach to Internal Developer Platform
09 Oct 2024
DevOps Automation & Evolution Theatre
Join this session to learn how SWIFT, the world’s main messaging network through which international payments are initiated, develop an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) to enable their developers to run a self-serve utility to set up their entire development environment with a few simple command executions, thus overcoming the limited environments bottleneck developers previously faced. By examining SWIFT’s IDP journey, the session will showcase the 3 ways of DevOps – (i) Improving Flow, (ii) Amplifying Feedback Loops, and (iii) Cultivating a Culture of Experimentation & Learning.
Key Discussion Points:
- Why SWIFT has chosen to go towards IDP, which is central to Platform Engineering and core to DevOps.
- How Swift’s IDP was built, the tools & components used.
- Common considerations for a successful IDP.
