Software teams encounter challenges in finding the right developer platforms due to limitations in existing solutions like Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings and cloud providers, which often lead to compromised developer productivity and increased complexity. As companies grow, they require more flexibility and control over their infrastructure to meet diverse customer needs and compliance standards, but traditional platforms often fall short in scalability and adaptability. To address these issues, a Composable Developer Platform (CDP) emerges as a promising solution, allowing developers to customize their applications by selecting and swapping components with ease, similar to choosing items from a menu. This approach provides the necessary flexibility and control for different scenarios while maintaining a seamless developer experience. CDPs offer out-of-the-box ease-of-use and self-service capabilities while enabling advanced customizations for performance optimization and testing as needed. By embracing CDPs, software teams can effectively augment their existing cloud providers, tools, and processes, ensuring productivity and value delivery without being hindered by the constraints of traditional platforms.
