talk of IDPs. What's an IDP? Internal Developer Platform? Internal Developer Portal? Are they the same? Are they different? There's talk of golden paths and software templates. And there's talk of shifting down with your security. Wait, I thought we were supposed to shift left with our security. Now we're shifting down. There's cognitive overload. There's onboarding. And there's so much more. But in reality, it's not all that confusing. If you can just focus on three clear benefits that should drive your entire platform effort forward. First up, boost developer productivity. Successful platform engineering is all about getting developers to the good stuff fast. Remove any obstacles. Make it easy for them. And that means things like instant onboarding with zero configuration environments, a wealth of automated templates that create secure golden paths for every new project. No more searching for documentation. No more waiting days and days for approvals. No more ticket ops. Just start coding. Second, reduce risk. If you're moving fast, you need guardrails. A strong platform bakes security in right from the start of a software development lifecycle. This isn't about slowdowns. It's the opposite. It's about automated signing and verification for all of your software artifacts. It's about real-time risk visibility and policy-driven compliance that runs automatically and is specific to your organization or industry. The result? Secure code ships by default. And finally, enable AI-powered development. Here's a pro tip for you. Platform engineering is how you operationalize AI. It means providing trusted AI model verification and offering pre-built AI software templates to accelerate new projects. And not to be forgotten, it's about AI-assisted code modernization to help make app modernization simpler than ever before. These three pillars, boosting developer productivity, risk reduction, and AI-powered development are what makes a powerful internal developer platform like the one delivered by Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite will help empower your platform engineering success.
