An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) streamlines internal development processes to relieve pressure on Ops teams by compartmentalizing complexity and creating a standardized developer workflow. This allows for developer self-service, reducing the need for unstructured scripts and maintaining consistency across infrastructure and tools. IDPs have a significant impact on productivity, with teams that deployed an IDP increasing their deployment frequency 4 times and reducing waiting times due to blocked environments by 90%. IDPs also increase visibility and transparency across teams, services, and environments, while enabling self-sustainability and ownership among development teams, leading to reduced friction between teams. By using an IDP like Humanitec, organizations can serve developers better with reduced overhead and significantly increased productivity.
