Your Minimum Viable Platform in just 4 phases

Our MVP program is a guided playbook that helps you get started building your platform. Fast, reliable and cost efficient.

Design your platform
Design your IDP based on our battle tested reference architectures. Choose the template closest to your setup and get started.
Build your MVP
Build your MVP including a CI/CD setup, clusters and environments, Deploy a real life HelloWorld app in an end-to-end workflow.
Expand and scale
Use the MVP to show value to key stakeholders. A successful MVP is the key first step to scale to a full blown enterprise-grade IDP.

Design, build, scale.

Phase 1
Design
Define goals and outcomes, including ideal end-to-end dev flows. Identify a sample application, design your MVP V1.0 architecture.
Phase 2
Integrate
Set up your environments
and connect them to your infrastructure components (clusters, resources, networking).
Phase 3
Deploy
Configure your workloads. Implement your end-to-end flow and deploy your sample application.
Phase 4
Adopt
Showcase to stakeholders, proving value on both DevEx
and DevOps metrics. Plan for scaling to next teams.

MVP case study

Use the MVP program to get started. Fast, reliably and cost efficient.

Super fast design phase, following the reference architectures as best practice templates
Minimum Viable Platform delivered in 2 weeks, relying on Humanitec’s repeatable playbook
Used MVP to win over stakeholders and build internal momentum before scaling to full IDP
The MVP program was the key to our successful IDP rollout. Extremely cost efficient and well designed. We were able to show value quickly to all internal stakeholders, before we scaled to the enterprise-grade platform we have today.

The four phases to Minimum Viable Platform (MVP)
The MVP should be representative, repeatable, iterative, and innovative. It should not be compliant with all your security and policy requirements or involve advanced architectures or configurations. Minimum Viable Platforms are the best way to get started with platform engineering and how to build an IDP. This is what you need to get started.
