Does anyone have a reference implementation of their Internal Developer Platform (IDP) openly available on Internet or a presentation of it?
I'm curious to get some inspiration and learn how you/others have implemented it 🙂

Hey @Øyvind Ødegård,
demo.getport.io is a great place to start and get some inspiration as to the different areas an IDP can help. (It is open to access with no signup 👍)
Let me know if you have any Q's!

Hey @Øyvind Ødegård if you are looking for a reference implementation for an internal developer platform - I'd recommend checking out this pocket guide
This highlights the evolving market, frameworks vs platforms, common pitfalls, adoption, and best practices

That kind of hard sell is against our community guidelines @Cillian Golden. If you want to promote a product, better to write out a useful answer or spur discussion in some way, rather than just pushing to your sales demo
(especially when it’s not especially relevant to the thread).

Linking to at least an info piece is a bit better @Patrick Toomey - but I’d still question just pushing something to company content without giving more info why.
Especially since the question is on reference implementations for Internal Developer Platforms - not Portals (even if they are an important piece of the puzzle)

Why not take a look at what the community is curating @Øyvind Ødegård? https://platformengineering.org/platform-tooling is basically in the form of a reference architecture and there should also be a carousel of video “Reference architectures at PlatformCon24” on the page below the landscape itself, which will give you concrete examples.
Feel free to hit me up via DM for a virtual coffee shared, while chatting about platform architectures.
