Scaling Developer Productivity: Insights from IDP Rollouts in Large Enterprises
This panel session explores the efforts of large enterprises, including Ford, JPMC, FannieMae, and Adobe, in enhancing developer productivity by reducing cognitive load on their teams. Central to this endeavor is the implementation of an Internal Developer Portal (IDP), which has become a crucial element for success in platform engineering teams focused on Developer Experience (DevX). The session examines the evaluation, onboarding, and scaling of IDPs within enterprises with thousands of developers.
Experts from these organizations will discuss their strategies for optimizing DevX and effectively deploying IDPs at scale. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the challenges faced during IDP rollouts and the best practices that enable successful adoption. The panelists will share practical examples and approaches that can be adapted by other enterprises seeking to implement IDPs for their developer communities.
