What to consider when building an IDP | On-demand Webinar | Harness Resources

Webinar: On-Demand
Webinar: Upcoming Event

Is your development team bogged down by manual tasks? Or trapped in “TicketOps” to get basic needs filled? Does onboarding new developers and services take too long? Are your developers spending time hunting for documentation and hidden institutional knowledge?

As engineering complexity grows, developers increasingly struggle with scattered documentation, complex service dependencies, and repetitive operational tasks. Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) are reshaping the developer experience by providing centralized access to resources, automated workflows, and comprehensive service catalogs.

Once you’ve realized you need an Internal Developer Portal, the next big question is how do you get started? Do you buy one or build one? Starting out the wrong way can lead to failure.

This webinar will examine why that is. We’ll look at the essential capabilities of modern IDPs, from streamlining onboarding to eliminating "TicketOps" through self-service automation. Then we’ll dive into different approaches to building an IDP, comparing the popular Backstage framework with managed solutions and exploring aspects such as

  • Critical IDP capabilities to look for
  • Total cost of ownership for different approaches
  • Balancing flexibility with maintenance overhead
  • Ensuring adoption and measuring success
  • Planning for scale and governance

Key Take Aways:

  1. Modern IDP features can reduce cognitive load and accelerate software delivery
  2. Essential IDP capabilities that drive measurable improvements in developer productivity
  3. Critical factors to consider when choosing whether to build or buy an IDP solution
