Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) are becoming essential for boosting efficiency, scalability, and security. These platforms are designed by platform engineering teams with developers in mind, ensuring they have the right tools to streamline their workflows. At the heart of every IDP are five key components (next section) that keeps everything running smoothly.
IBM Cloud App Configuration (IBM Cloud AC) plays a crucial role in this ecosystem to do centralized configuration management. It offers a scalable, fault tolerant, and secure way to manage dynamic configurations, feature flags, and access (allow listing) management which is all access controlled. It seamlessly aligns with the core components of an IDP, helping teams maintain flexibility and control.
