An IDP is the infrastructure layer that sits between your code How code gets deployed How secrets are managed How the system monitors itself How failures get detected and fixed Most companies pay Humanitec or Backsta

Decisions developed gradually. Architecture changed over time. Judgment was distributed throughout implementation. When the cost of code drops, that balance flips. The difficult part is no longer creating softwa

Developers still couldn't provision a staging environment without pinging the platform team. That gap — between "GitOps in place" and "developers can actually self-serve" — is where most platform engineering teams get stuck. GitOps solves a real p
