The Internal Developer Platform Buyer's Guide

Build vs buy, a vendor-neutral evaluation checklist, and the red flags to watch. An honest framework for teams choosing an IDP, use it against every option, including us.

What's inside

A framework, not a pitch

• Build vs buy, honestly

  The real cost of building in-house versus what buying a mature baseline gets you, and the rip-and-replace trap to avoid.

• A 7-point evaluation checklist

  Score every platform on the same criteria: tool-agnostic, governance, self-host, audit, golden paths, AI governance, and pricing.

• The red flags

  The claims and pricing models that signal trouble, so a good demo does not cost you a bad decision.
