Platform Engineering, Tuesday, March 4th, 2025
Nowadays, developers face a paradox: While technology advances rapidly, the complexity of managing infrastructure slows them down. Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) solve this challenge by streamlining workflows, reducing cognitive load and enhancing productivity.
IDPs are increasingly recognized as essential tools for organizations aiming to increase developer productivity. According to Gartner, by 2026, 80% of large software engineering organizations will establish platform engineering teams as internal providers of reusable services, components and tools for application delivery - up from 45% in 2022.
IDPs integrate tools, services and processes within a unified environment, empowering developers to manage applications autonomously, and reducing reliance on operations teams. In this article, we'll explore the significant benefits of implementing IDPs, supported by industry statistics.
