Internal developer platform on Azure
Teams ship without waiting on a ticket queue. We build an internal developer platform with golden path templates and a self-service portal, for engineering estates already running on Azure.
Every team rebuilds the same pipeline
Each product team assembles its own pipeline, its own Bicep modules and its own alerting, because nothing shared is ready when the work starts. The estate accumulates variants of the same deployment, and every audit, upgrade or incident has to be resolved separately in each one.
A portal on its own does not fix this. The work is deciding which paths become golden, writing them as templates that provision a service with its pipeline, its Azure Policy assignments and its Microsoft Entra ID identity already wired, and then running the platform as a product, with a backlog and named users inside your organisation. You are choosing an owner, not a tool.
One paved road, and what teams get from it
The platform is a product with users: your engineers. These are the capabilities they consume without having to understand what is underneath.
platform
Environments
Provisioned from templates in minutes, compliant by construction
Pipelines
CI/CD paths ready to use, with quality and security gates built in
Observability
Monitoring, logging and alerting wired in from the first deployment
Guardrails
Policy, access and cost controls applied automatically, not requested
What makes this different
Self-service by default
Golden paths teams use directly, with the platform team building rather than dispatching.
The compliant path is the fastest
Guardrails inside the templates, so following the standard costs nothing.
Reusable golden paths
Templates maintained once and consumed everywhere, with versioning.
What you take away
Each engagement delivers the same artefacts: golden path templates, a Backstage portal, an Azure Policy baseline and the operating model that keeps them maintained. Below is what arrives and who uses it. If you have fewer than four product teams, a platform team does not pay for itself: we will say so on the first call.
