Why IDP-Core?

IDP-Core serves as the foundation of your Internal Developer Platform, addressing key challenges faced by modern engineering organizations:

⚡ Enhance Engineering Velocity

Transition from custom, in-house coding for each use case to a generic approach for integrating data and calculating scorecards. Significantly increase the speed of adding or changing engineering metrics.

👁️ Holistic Information System View

Offer a comprehensive view of your information system across multiple axes and dimensions—technical, financial, and human.

🤖 AI-Ready Context Base

Create a well-structured and reliable context base that helps AI agents better understand your ecosystem and technical landscape, leading to more accurate and valuable propositions.

👤 Engineer Self-Service

Improve engineers' daily productivity by providing self-service capabilities across the tools they use. Integrate automated workflows and create coherent journeys for common actions.

Flexible Data Model

Define your own Entity Templates that mirror your organization's specific needs. No predefined schemas—create data models at runtime that adapt to rapid shifts.

Multi-Source Data Ingestion

Connect to any data source through Webhooks, Kafka/Pub-Sub, or direct API calls. Map incoming data to your entities using JQ expressions.

Scorecards & Metrics

Track engineering excellence with Scorecards—define levels, conditions, and weights to assess your tech landscape's health.

Self-Service Actions

Enable developers to execute complex, multi-tool operations through simple, single-click actions with guardrails and golden paths.

AI Integration (MCP)

Expose your platform's data and actions through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling AI agents to understand and act on your technical ecosystem.

Architecture at a Glance

We built the Internal Developer Platform with modern architectural principles:

  • Domain-Driven Design (DDD) - Clear separation between domain logic and infrastructure
  • Hexagonal Architecture - Ports and adapters pattern for flexibility
  • Spring Boot 3.x - Production-ready framework with excellent ecosystem
  • PostgreSQL - Reliable data persistence
  • OpenTelemetry - First-class observability with metrics, traces, and logs

Open Source

We open source the Internal Developer Platform to be free of opinionated choices. We believe in providing the community with a modern Internal Developer Platform backend that adapts to any organization's needs.
