Reference architectures for Internal Developer Platforms
Explore tried and true platform blueprints and reference architectures
What are
reference architectures?
How can you glue your toolchain into a scalable Internal Developer Platform? These reference architectures are based on hundreds of setups across public, private and hybrid cloud to help you build your IDP quickly and reliably.
The tools below are representative and can be swapped with what you’re using today. To see what an IDP on your specific cloud setup would look like, check out the individual reference architectures available as whitepapers.
There’s so much noise in the platform engineering space. Reference architectures helped us get the design and starting point right.

We had planned 24 months to get our V1 for the IDP. With Humanitec we had a first MVP after 24 minutes.
