INTERNAL DEVELOPER PORTAL & PLATFORM
Orchestration & centralization: Better together
Cycloid is your unified Internal Developer Portal & Platform that works better, together. Sovereign by design, secure by nature, made to scale platform engineering initiatives.
Your challenge:
avoid the portal-only problem
Many organizations invest in Internal Developer Portals expecting a complete solution, only to discover they’ve purchased or created a centralization layer without orchestration capabilities for self-service with guardrails. Portal-only solutions provide visibility but lack the enforcement, automation, and workflow orchestration that turn that visibility into action.
Cycloid: portal & platform
Better together
Cycloid’s different. We deliver both the centralization layer (Internal Developer Portal) and the orchestration layer (Internal Developer Platform) as complimentary to your existing solutions. Like a lock and key or a map and a compass – some things just work better together.
Improve developer experience through centralization and self-service. Give developers the freedom to build and deploy software autonomously with easy-to-use automation. Say goodbye to Platform and DevOps bottlenecks.
Single source of truth for tools, services, and infrastructure
Service catalog with clear ownership models
Asset inventory with real-time visibility
Self-service provisioning that reduces cognitive load
Auto-generated documentation and infrastructure diagrams
Gain more than visibility with a full GitOps-first approach as you orchestrate control, governance, and centralization. Give platform teams the permissions to unleash self-service with guardrails, hosted anywhere, with zero lock-in.
GitOps-first workflow with Git as single source of truth
CI/CD orchestration that centralizes all deployments
Automated governance with policy-as-code enforcement
Standardized golden paths with Stacks and StackForms
Infrastructure as Code automation with InfraImport
Every manual request that's a ticket kills DevOps capacity and delays delivery. Your goal is to reduce that queue with repeatable paths.

Internal Developer Portals & Platforms
Here’s how the portal and platform layers work together to solve your challenges.
1. Service Catalog & Golden Paths
Display your service catalog with landing zones, infrastructures, and applications. Give developers a clear menu of available services with transparent ownership.
Orchestrate deployment through standardized Stacks – pre-designed, pre-configured golden paths that enforce best practices, security, and automation.
Developers browse the catalog and deploy infrastructure in minutes, while platform teams maintain governance through versioned, auditable stacks stored in Git.
Key benefits
Self-service without loss of control
Automated compliance with organizational standards
Reduce repetitive provisioning tickets by up to 50%
2. StackForms & Self-Service Orchestration
Present customizable forms designed by platform teams. Let anyone interact with tools, cloud, and automation without needing DevOps expertise.
Orchestrate the backend workflows that provision, configure, and deploy based on form inputs. Connect to APIs, validate against policies, and execute CI/CD pipelines.
Developers complete intuitive forms with dropdowns, conditional fields, and asset inventory widgets. The platform automatically provisions resources, enforces guardrails, and saves configurations back to Git.
Key benefits
Lower cognitive load for developers
Guardrails prevent misconfiguration
Faster onboarding with guided workflows
3. CI/CD Pipelines & Deployment Orchestration
Display pipeline status, deployment history, and build logs. Give developers visibility into their deployment workflows from a centralized dashboard.
Centralize all deployments and orchestrate any automation. Create custom workflows to simplify deployment processes and integrate with your existing CI tools.
Developers trigger deployments through the portal interface while the platform executes standardized pipelines with proper approvals, testing, and rollback capabilities.
Key benefits
Consistent deployment workflows
Faster release cycles
Lower operational costs through automation
4. Governance Visibility & Policy Enforcement
Show compliance status, security posture, and governance metrics. Display RBAC permissions, audit logs, and approval workflows.
Enforce policies automatically through Infrapolicies and Stack versioning. Set guardrails once, then let them work in the background across all workflows.
Governance that helps delivery. Platform teams configure policies that are automatically enforced during provisioning, while developers get clear feedback when requests violate standards.
Key benefits
Security and compliance as default, not afterthought
Automated policy-as-code enforcement
Complete audit trail for compliance reporting
5. FinOps & GreenOps Integration
Display cost estimation before deployment, real-time spending by team/stack/environment, and carbon footprint metrics in the asset inventory.
Orchestrate cost controls and sustainability practices. Integrate with cloud billing APIs, track resource optimization opportunities, and automate rightsizing recommendations.
See cost and carbon alongside deployments and act on it in real time. FinOps and GreenOps become daily decisions, not retrospective analyses.
Key benefits
Visibility to manage cloud budgets
Track spending per team, stack, and environment
Reduce cloud costs and carbon footprint simultaneously
