Everything* you need. When and where you need it.
*from one IDP: golden paths or environments you compose yourself, to deploy, run and promote, plus Day-2 actions. A developer experience platform, inside the rules your platform team set.

Your code's ready. Your environment isn't.
Getting an environment needs the right channel, enough context to act on, then waiting. Then questions come: which region, which size, who owns it?
Half a day on approvals. Time to understand what the Terraform does. None of that was the hard part of the job, and none of it is what you were hired for.
Atlassian surveyed 3,500 devs in 2025. AI saves about 10 hours a week, org friction costs about 10 hours. Only 16% of the week is spent writing code.

Customising, for developers
Pick a golden path.
Or compose your own.
Your platform team built the Forms around how your organisation works. So a Form only asks what’s yours to decide – region, size, the services you need – and the rest is already answered.
Most devs don’t want a blank canvas. They want the golden path, plus room for what their service does differently. That’s what the open slots in a Blueprint are for – and the platform checks your picks before anything gets created.
For you: Your portal, your work: homescreen, saved views, resources. Once something’s running, confirmed Day-2 Actions are ready. Resize, restart, rotate credentials. Approvals kick in where your team set them.
The rules stay out of your way until you’re about to break one.

A platform is an internal product, and the developers are its customers.

Under the hood
Read the code behind the form
Every form sits on Terraform or OpenTofu, Ansible or Helm you can open. No black box between the form and your cloud.
The rules are set up front, so approvals only appear where your org needs them.
Every service you own, its dependencies and its health, without asking around.
Pick a golden path or compose your own, then deploy, run and promote it from one portal.

Your jobs, one developer experience
01
A customisable portal that opens on your work
Set your own home page and keep personal dashboards. Your team lead shapes the team’s pages, and each resource shows the tabs your platform team built for it.
02
Pick a golden path, or compose your own
Take a Blueprint that already carries the architecture decision, or compose your environment from approved building blocks: compute, data, storage. Either way, you stay inside the rules your platform team set.
03
A form instead of someone else's Terraform
Forms turns a Blueprint into a web form, showing only the fields that apply to you. Policy validates before submission, so you hear about the wrong region now rather than after the incident.
04
Deploy it, run it, promote it
Promotion paths move your workload from dev to staging to production through the environments your platform team defined, and you see what each change touches.
05
Approvals, before you press deploy
Approvals sit on the Form: a request that needs sign-off, like a GPU cluster, routes to the right approver instead of being rejected, and you can see where it is.
06
Work from your IDE assistant. Within the guardrails.
An MCP server hands your editor’s assistant the same access you have: list resources, read a Blueprint, trigger a Day-2 Action.
Deployment
Runs on your infrastructure, works from your editor
Works with the Terraform and OpenTofu, Ansible and Helm you already run, reachable from your editor over MCP.
