When it comes to the Internal Developer Platform (IDP), many in the Developer community or those interested in IT may have already heard of it but may not be aware of its key components. Today, we are pleased to invite Khun Game Karanyot Russamee, Senior Platform Services Engineer at SCB TechX, to share insights on what IDP is and its main components that enable automated software development.
The Internal Developer Platform (IDP) is a system designed to automate software development from the initial stages through to production. It reduces dependency on other teams such as Operations and DevOps, making the development process faster and more efficient. IDP focuses on enhancing the Developer Experience (DX) by providing an easy-to-use, secure, and standardized platform.
The key 6 components of the Internal Developer Platform (IDP) are as follows:
- Application Configuration Management: A system for managing application configurations and sizing, which are crucial for creating a flexible and efficient system.
- Environment Management: A system that allows developers to create or adjust their environments as needed, enabling smooth operations without waiting for other teams.
- Deployment Management: A system for rapidly creating and managing CI/CD pipelines, automating the testing and deployment of applications into production.
- Infrastructure Management: Tools that empower developers to create infrastructure resources on their own, with policies in place to ensure appropriate resource allocation.
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Security: A system for managing access rights (RBAC) and auditing activities within the platform to ensure heightened security.
- Monitoring and Observability: A system that enables developers to quickly identify and resolve issues by providing deep insights into the status of their developed systems.
To accelerate and streamline software development, SCB TechX has integrated these key components into xPlatform, our Platform DevOps as a Service solution. This service addresses challenges in software development with automation, helping businesses reduce operational costs and improve development efficiency.
