Internal developer portals (IDPs) have received a lot of attention lately. Internal Developer Portals serve as the engineering system of record—providing developers with the context and tools they need to ensure services and resources they own align with best practices for deployment readiness, operational maturity, security compliance, and more. But they do more than just act as a system of record for your whole stack. They also help drive alignment, improve MTTR, and can even reduce cloud spend.

Knowing how productive your development team is is essential to planning your software delivery timeline and releasing high-quality software to the end-user. However, there exist several misconceptions about what developer productivity is and how it can be increased. Developer productivity is not a single metric you can measure, like the number of pull requests each developer in the team is making in a given development time. Instead, it comprises a variety of interconnected aspects that can be measured by different metrics and improved over time.

Back by popular demand, Ganesh Datta will cover Developer Portals and why users look to Cortex for running efficient engineering teams. Developer portals have become increasingly important to run an efficient engineering team especially as the number of services or engineers scale. Learn more about why companies adopt developer portals, how to maximize their impact, and how they can help your team reduce the organizational complexity that comes with running a service oriented architecture.

Developer experience and productivity are top-of-mind this year as organizations sharpen a focus on engineering efficiency. In a bid to become the central hub for developer interactions, internal developer portals (IDPs) have landed on the short list of priorities for engineering teams in every industry. But with just a few years on the shelf, many IDP programs are beginning to fail or flail. Why?
