A stack-based approach to internal developer platforms (IDPs) emphasizes reusability, autonomy, and visibility. This methodology promotes a flexible system where teams define and deploy customized DevOps stacks. It addresses issues like tool sprawl and governance challenges faced by platform engineering teams. Developers can self-serve infrastructure and services from a catalog of version-controlled templates, or stacks, which cover the full application environment lifecycle. Unlike traditional IDPs, a stack-based platform is modular, allowing platform engineers to set rules while granting developers the freedom to use them autonomously, thus boosting productivity and compliance.
A stack-based approach to IDPs emphasizes reusability, autonomy, and visibility, creating a standardized but flexible system where teams can define and deploy their own devops stack.
A stack-based internal developer platform allows developers to self-serve infrastructure and services from a predefined, version-controlled catalog of templates, or 'stacks.' These stacks encapsulate the entire life cycle of an application environment, from infrastructure-as-code tools and CI/CD to observability and cost controls.
Unlike traditional IDPs that are centrally managed and rigid, stack-based platforms are modular and composable by design. Platform engineers define the rules and templates; developers consume them with autonomy.
A stack-based approach to internal developer platforms can alleviate the issues of tool sprawl and complex workflows, promoting alignment between development and operations teams.
