This article is the second in a series on Internal Developer Platform (IDP) best practices, focusing on creating "golden paths"—pre-architected, reusable infrastructure patterns designed to standardize and accelerate cloud development. With modern cloud platforms offering an overwhelming array of services and tools, developers often face decision fatigue and inconsistent implementations. Golden paths address these challenges by providing ready-to-use, production-grade infrastructure that encapsulates an organization's best practices, security policies, and operational standards. Utilizing Pulumi's core constructs of Components and Templates, the article guides readers on building these pathways, enabling infrastructure abstractions that are written once and shared across teams, significantly reducing setup time. The article further emphasizes the layering model for IDPs, detailing how to transition from building reusable infrastructure components to developing comprehensive golden path templates that facilitate safe and consistent delivery, ultimately transforming IDPs into a system of self-service, speed, and stability. By illustrating the creation of a Go microservice golden path, the text showcases how to integrate application scaffolding, infrastructure deployment, CI/CD pipeline configuration, and security controls to enhance developer efficiency and application reliability.
