Ask HN: Building an internal developer platform for larger companies

2 points by nkotov ↗ HN
We're in the process of validating a couple of ideas and I'd love some help from the HN community. For the last six months, we've been navigating the startup waters and building and improving.

We're thinking of building a platform that enables teams at mid/large sized companies to build, run, and scale applications in AWS (and soon other cloud providers) without forcing developers to become cloud experts.

Practically speaking, our product would be your internal developer platform where you (DevOps/Platform/Site Reliability Engineers) can build boilerplates / templates for your teams that meet your business requirements. Then, the developers can quickly deploy/launch these templates/boilerplates in an "App Store" type of fashion with the "Heroku"-like experience. The end goal is avoid having developers install unnecessary CLI tools or managing kubernetes clusters.

Building this solution would help developers move at their own pace and give Platform/DevOps/Site Reliability engineers more time back.

Before we continue to pour more effort in to this, is it something that you think you'd personally setup and give to your developers?
