An Internal Developer Portal, also known as IDP, is a centralized platform for managing development resources, tools, and workflows.
Internal developer portals are platforms used by organizations to provide developers with easy access to tools, documentation, services, and APIs. They serve as a central hub to smoothen workflows and improve efficiency. These portals help developers quickly find the information they need, such as setup instructions, code guidelines, deployment processes, and access to internal APIs. Internal developer portals often integrate with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and other essential tools, which makes it easier to manage projects and collaborate within the team. The goal is to reduce friction in the development process and provide developers with a trouble-free experience when working on tasks.

This centralized access makes the workflows more efficient and enhances productivity across organizations.
