Overview
Why It Matters
Your Platform is Either Accelerating Your Teams or Slowing Them Down.
Cloud costs spiral when teams move fast without guardrails. Over time, it’s easy to end up with wasteful infrastructure, misaligned tools, and unclear ownership.
An IDP done right standardizes golden paths, automates infrastructure, and gives developers self-service capabilities — freeing them to ship faster, safer, and with less toil.
When to Use
When to Run This Assessment
You don’t always need an IDP — but you know it’s time when:
Releases are slowing down and delivery velocity is dropping
Onboarding new engineers takes weeks, not days
Tooling is fragmented, creating duplicated effort and confusion
CI/CD pipelines are fragile and failing too often
Environments are inconsistent and drift-prone
Cloud, CI, and infra costs are climbing without clear ownership
You’re planning a platform team
You’ve raised funding and need to scale delivery confidently
What We Review
We evaluate your platform maturity across 10 critical pillars
Developer Experience
Templates, paved roads, and self-service
Source Control & CI
Branching, caching, test strategy
CD & Environments
Promotions, progressive delivery, drift
Infrastructure & Runtime
K8s/Fargate/VMs, IaC standards
Observability
Logs, metrics, traces, SLOs, incidents
Security & Compliance
Secrets, SBOM, policy-as-code
Platform Team Maturity
Ownership, SLAs, roadmap
Developer Catalog & Portal
Service discovery, onboarding, ownership
Governance & Change Mgmt
Guardrails vs. gates, risk controls
Cost & Efficiency
CI minutes, environment sprawl, right-sizing
Deliverables
