Open source platform reference architectures for AWS, GCP and Azure

The design phase of building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) can be time-consuming due to the need to select essential components and appropriate tech from a vast landscape. To simplify this process, open-source reference architecture implementation codes for AWS, Azure, and GCP-based platforms have been released. A Minimum Viable Platform (MVP) approach is recommended, which allows for fast iteration based on feedback and quick expansion to meet the needs of developers and platform engineers. This approach can reduce the IDP design process from months to days. The new open-source reference architectures consist of five key components: Developer Control Plane, Integration and Delivery Plane, Monitoring and Logging Plane, Security Plane, and Resource Plane. By using Score and the Humanitec Platform Orchestrator, organizations can create an effective enterprise-grade IDP in a faster and more efficient manner.
