Your CI/CD pipeline keeps code flowing seamlessly from development to production. But if your developers are constantly jumping between tools, managing pipelines can start to feel like more friction than flow. ✨ Enter Internal Developer Portals ✨ By centralizing access to CI/CD tools, IDPs streamline workflows, boost visibility, and reduce context-switching—all while empowering teams with self-service capabilities. Picture this: 😮 Developers trigger builds, view logs, and manage deployments—all from one interface. 🤯 Predefined templates ensure every new service aligns with organizational standards. 😯 Governance policies enforce code quality and security best practices automatically. 🫨 Real-time pipeline health dashboards keep everyone on the same page. With an IDP, your CI/CD pipeline isn’t just efficient—it’s optimized. Check out the blog to learn more ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gAUpnYdJ

Hot take: Developer experience isn’t a “nice-to-have” — it’s your secret weapon for profit. We’ve been getting it wrong. Too many people treat DevEx as a cost-cutting exercise. But here’s the truth: A killer developer experience fuels faster time-to-market, more innovation, and bigger profits. 🤑 In his latest blog for DevOps.com, Justin Reock shows why investing in developer joy isn’t just about reducing toil. 🔥 The takeaway: If you’re not telling a profit story when pitching DevEx investments, you’re doing it wrong.

At Sportradar, driving engineering excellence isn't just a goal—it's a necessity. Scott Dunbar, SVP of Engineering Enablement at Sportradar, shares how Cortex streamlined their development process, eliminating two years of complexity from engineering workflows. “Cortex is helping us drive a culture of engineering excellence by bringing all the complexity in an engineer's life into one single consumable artifact, and really helping the engineer distill down all the metrics, requirements, scorecards, and measures that they need to think about in their daily work.” From automating workflows with tools like the Scaffolder and Service Catalog to empowering teams to bootstrap entire projects from scratch, Cortex is helping Sportradar optimize efficiency and innovation.

Cofounder & CTO at Cortex | Building the internal developer portal powering productive engineering teams
Great post about developer productivity and a refreshing new take on it. "Attribution is hard to do, and requires careful causal modeling and reasoning about systems to understand how work ties into outcomes etc. It requires business context. It cant be solved by generic 'developer productivity' metrics.. ('developer efficiency' is not even the 10th most important problem to solve on this list.)" It's exciting to see the industry begin talking about business context and outcome driven analysis of engineering orgs and systems. I talked about this recently in a talk at AWS re:Invent https://lnkd.in/g7cJmN9t, not specifically around measuring productivity but focused on why platform engineering HAS to be aware of business context+outcomes, not isolated from it.
The myth that software development productivity is hard to measure because it is non-repetitive, creative, knowledge work is the kind of folk wisdom we have gotten away with as an industry for too long.. I recently saw an article from an ex-Amazon engineering leader arguing this. Do you think Sales isn't non-repetitive, creative, knowledge work? It's orders of magnitude harder than development if you measure on these dimensions. Or Marketing? In these areas, where people did not have the tools or techniques to figure out how and where to invest their dollars, the fact that it is creative, non-repetitive, knowledge work did not stop them in their tracks from figuring out how to do it. It's still not easy, its takes a lot of work to do, but the fact that it is creative work has nothing to do with whether this is possible to do. What it requires is the desire to solve the problem and it is in the interest of a lot of people to claim the problem is impossible or unnecessary to solve than to actually try and solve it. The underlying productivity problem we have to solve for product development and engineering is not all that dissimilar from marketing: attributing investments in product and engineering to economic outcomes. Its harder in our world because PD and operations are intertwined and concurrent. ..and outcomes are a complex, time shifted function of outputs. But it is not impossible. Attribution is hard to do, and requires careful causal modeling and reasoning about systems to understand how work ties into outcomes etc. It requires business context. It cant be solved by generic "developer productivity" metrics.. ("developer efficiency" is not even the 10th most important problem to solve on this list.) But I'll repeat.. Its not impossible.. The level of basic literacy among engineering managers on how to use data to reason and advocate about their systems of work and the outcomes they produce is really pretty awful, imo. You cant blame the current crop of leaders who came up in the ZIRP era, though. For most of their careers all they've had to do is figure out how to grow the headcount of people reporting to them. They have not developed the muscles for operating in a resource constrained environment. Or if, like me, they are from an earlier generation, the machinery to do this simply did not exist so they still stick with outdated beliefs about what is possible. So we seem to be stuck in a doom loop of self-delusional, self-congratulatory mediocrity that can only be ignored by inflating the next bubble.. I guess that's where AI comes in..
