In this episode, Lucas and Luna discuss how an internal developer platform (IDP) can dramatically reduce deployment times and cognitive load for engineering teams. Lucas shares a specific case study from a mid-stage startup that built a lightweight IDP using backstage and custom scaffolder templates, cutting average deploy time from 45 minutes to 8 minutes and reducing onboarding from two weeks to two days. They explore the trade-offs between buying versus building, the role of platform teams, and why a good IDP isn't just about tooling — it's about treating developers as customers. If you're an engineering leader wondering whether an IDP is worth the investment, this episode gives you a concrete model to evaluate.
