This article investigates how specialized DevOps teams can establish and maintain internal developer portals (IDP) to augment the developer experience.
Abstract
Abstract: Experienced developers are essential for software teams to construct and deploy applications proficiently. Platform engineering aims to grant developers self-service access to preconfigured environments and tools to accelerate development lifecycles and reduce cognitive load. This article investigates how specialized DevOps teams can establish and maintain internal developer portals (IDP) to augment the developer experience. The analysis includes the automated provisioning of GitHub repositories containing code templates for the supporting infrastructure of a developer portal for a Java application. Further elements emphasized as crucial constituents of an exceptional developer experience are expert support and the maintenance of up-to-date templates
