Revolutionizing Developer Productivity: The Evolution and Benefits of IDPs

Cora Iberkleid, Developer Advocate, VMware

Internal developer platforms (IDPs) might be the latest innovation to hit the platform space, but they represent the culmination of at least a decade of efforts by development, platform and DevOps teams to meet a broad spectrum of developer needs. IDPs offer a range of benefits that can help developers focus on writing code, accelerate development, and improve collaboration and productivity. Join this session to explore the evolution of IDPs and their key elements. See a demonstration tailored for Spring Boot developers using VMware Tanzu Application Platform, a pre-built IDP that leverages various open source technologies. By the end of the talk, you will understand IDPs, how they work, and why they matter for software development. You will also have a framework for choosing between pre-built or custom IDP solutions for your organization.
