In this 5-minute session, Jabed Amin, Developer Relations at Cortex.io, will explain how platform engineers can enhance their impact by treating their Internal Developer Portal as a product. By understanding internal customers’ needs, prioritizing features, and ensuring a seamless developer experience, platform engineers can 10x their team’s productivity. Join us to discover how adopting this mindset can transform your platform engineering efforts into a high-impact, developer-centric initiative that empowers your teams and drives organizational success.

DZone’s 2025 Developer Experience Trend Report highlights key themes shaping engineering teams today—platform engineering, developer advocacy, and the evolving ways we measure productivity. But what’s missing from the conversation?

Mark Dunlop, Head of Engineering Experience at Xero, shares how their team transitioned from managing service ownership in spreadsheets to building an internal portal—only to outgrow it. By adopting Cortex, Xero gained a centralized source of truth for ownership, compliance, and engineering standards across their globally distributed teams. With features like scorecards and workflows, Cortex is helping Xero drive engineering excellence, improve standardization, and elevate conversations beyond engineers to GMs and executive leaders. Watch to learn how Cortex is shaping the future of engineering at Xero!

In today’s fast-paced engineering landscape, organizations are turning to Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) to streamline operations, enhance productivity, and foster innovation. But how do you quantify the potential impact of implementing an IDP? What tangible benefits can it deliver to your teams, and how can it transform your development workflows?

98% of engineering leaders reported at least one major consequence of failing to meet production readiness standards. To better understand how teams are addressing new challenges in production readiness, Cortex recently conducted a survey of engineering leaders at companies with more than 500 employees in North America, Europe, and AsiaPac. The survey included questions pertaining to production readiness standards, tools, struggles, and desired future state.
