In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, developer velocity is a competitive advantage—but it’s often slowed down by fragmented tooling, complex infrastructure, and overloaded DevOps teams. Enter Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs): a transformative approach that abstracts infrastructure complexity and empowers developers to deploy and manage their applications independently—without sacrificing security or governance.

 

In this session, we’ll explore how IDPs enable true developer autonomy by standardizing self-service workflows, integrating GitOps, and leveraging platform engineering principles. Using real-world examples, we’ll examine how leading organizations are building IDPs on Kubernetes with tools like Backstage, Crossplane, and Flux. Whether you're a platform engineer, DevOps lead, or developer, you'll leave with a clear understanding of how IDPs are reshaping the software delivery lifecycle—and how to start building one in your organization.
