Developer Platform Blueprint
Eliminate Friction & Build Golden Paths
A 3–5 week strategic engagement. We audit your developer experience (DevEx), eliminate onboarding friction, and architect an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) with self-service golden paths.
Concrete Platform Deliverables
Everything needed to empower engineering teams with self-service infrastructure and automated guardrails.
DevEx & Friction Audit
Developer journey mapping, lead time to change benchmarks, PR review friction, and cognitive load heatmaps.
- Dev Journey Friction Maps
- DORA Baseline Metrics
Internal Developer Portal (IDP)
Backstage or Port service catalog architecture, API documentation hubs, and self-service environment provisioning.
- Backstage / Port Architecture
- One-Click Env Scaffolding
Golden Path Templates & CLI
Opinionated microservice blueprints with pre-baked CI/CD, linting, logging, and security policies.
- Standard Microservice Scaffolds
- Reusable Pipeline Modules
Operating Model & Roadmap
Platform team staffing charters, self-service adoption plans, DORA metric dashboards, and 12-month sizing.
- Platform Team Charter
- 12-Month Sizing Roadmap
The 3–5 Week Blueprint Methodology
A structured, collaborative discovery sprint to design an internal platform engineers love using.
DevEx Audit & Baseline
Interviewing engineering leads, analyzing CI/CD build bottlenecks, and establishing baseline DORA metrics.
- Engineer survey & friction analysis
- Pipeline lead-time benchmarks
Architecture & Golden Paths
Designing the service catalog topology, self-service provisioning APIs, and PoC golden path templates.
- IDP architecture specifications
- Golden path scaffold prototypes
Executive Readout & Charter
Delivering the board-ready platform business case, phased implementation backlog, and team charter.
- Executive presentation deck
- Build sprint backlog handover
