What is an Internal Developer Platform (IDP)?

Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) have become more in vogue in recent times. An IDP is the middle interface layer that sits in between the Developers and the Platform teams to separate the concerns of both teams. The goal is to package up a set of interfaces and experiences for developers so they can focus on Application lifecycle and the Platform teams can then own pieces that ultimately support and underpin the infrastructure.

Thanks for sharing, this content helps us to build the correct Internal Developer Platform, too many companies solving this by creating their own IDP, but Backstage is attractive nowadays
