Let’s talk Platform Orchestrators: Buy or build?

You're considering building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) to escape DevOps hell or have already embarked on this journey but found it challenging. A Platform Orchestrator is essential to build an enterprise-grade IDP, as it promotes dynamic configuration management and reduces the need for developers to maintain environment-specific configurations. However, building such a platform requires significant research, expertise, and resources, taking at least 24 months to complete. Most teams find it difficult to reserve adequate resources for this project, and maintenance and ongoing development will be costly and time-consuming. Alternatively, using an existing Platform Orchestrator like the Humanitec Platform Orchestrator can provide a faster solution, taking around eight to twelve weeks to roll out across multiple teams. This approach offers reliability, scalability, and flexibility, with a proven track record of success among customers.
