We dive deep into the world of developer platform consoles, exploring the importance of simplicity, API-based architectures, and the crucial role these elements play in discoverability, operations, and observability. We argue that developer platform consoles should aim for a ‘dumb’ design philosophy – one that emphasizes straightforward interfaces and leverages APIs to interact with underlying services and data. By stripping down the complexity traditionally found in these consoles, developers can achieve greater efficiency and enhance the maintainability of their systems.

What do we need to do to enable everyone to self-serve themselves when infrastructure is concerned? How can we create, operate, and destroy Kubernetes clusters without the need to involve anyone else? How can we customize the experience to fulfill the needs of our users? How can we provide a good user experience through services? How can we ensure that we are following best practices? In this video, we will explore how to create an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) for Infrastructure by combining Argo CD, Crossplane, Port, and GitHub Actions.
