New series: Why Your IDP Doesn't Help
Hey,
I'm starting a new series: AI-Native IDP — building an Internal Developer Platform where AI is the engine, not a feature.
The first article is live:
Most developer platforms die within a year. The catalog goes stale, templates break, docs become fiction. The fix isn't more people maintaining the platform — it's making the platform maintain itself.
In this article:
Why traditional IDPs fail (hint: it's a maintenance problem)
What an AI-native IDP looks like
Setting up Backstage with OIDC auth and a Software Catalog
A .NET API template that scaffolds new services in seconds
The full code is on GitHub: victorZKov/forge
8 articles, one per day. Next up: Teaching Your Catalog to Think — AI that reads your code and keeps the catalog accurate without anyone touching it.
