Ever wanted to give Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) a try, but not sure where to start?
This repository contains two different IDPs that you can setup yourself and take for a test drive as part of the Platform Engineering Fundamentals course via pre-built Coder templates provided by the PE.org education team.
Featuring the CNOE Open Source IDP framework, which is built on open-source products and allows you to quickly scaffold a simple IDP.
This demo utilizes the Humanitec Platform Orchestrator at its heart to scaffold a powerful, dynamic IDP.
According to Thoughtworks, Platform Orchestrators are:
“A new generation of tools that go beyond the traditional platform-as-a-service (PaaS) model and offer published contracts between developers and platform teams. The contract might involve provisioning cloud environments, databases, monitoring, authentication and more in a different environment. These tools enforce organizational standards while granting developers self-service access to variations through configuration.”
