PARIS, FRANCE – 2 July – Cycloid, the leading Internal Developer Platform company, has today launched Plug-ins, a new capability that enables organizations to extend and personalize the platform with ease and flexibility. With Plug-ins, Cycloid now offers a complete Internal Developer Portal (IDP) layer that combines ready-to-use best practices with open customization, bridging the gap between rigid vendor platforms and fully custom in-house builds.
In platform engineering, the platform is the backbone orchestrating the infrastructure, standardizing workflows, and ensuring governance across environments. The portal is the user-facing layer where developers interact with tools, projects, and data. Cycloid delivers both: a single solution where platform and portal work in harmony so that platform teams maintain control, and developers can move fast and with confidence.
With the introduction of Plug-ins, Cycloid has made the portal fully extensible meaning that teams no longer have to choose between a rigid vendor experience or building everything themselves. Cycloid offers the majority of platform and portal functionality and best practice – developer experience, self-service, governance, automation, security and visibility – that all organizations need, while, for some of them, opening up the last miles for customization based on specific environments, tools or business needs.
Plug-ins transforms Cycloid into a central, customizable portal where teams can connect a range of external tools like Backstage, Sentry, SonarQube. Alternatively, teams can use custom-built systems and display real-time data directly within the interface such as dashboards, component cards or sidebars. Whether they are surfacing logs, error rates, documentation or internal metrics, teams gain visibility in the right context, without needing to leave the platform – meaning developers get faster feedback, while platform teams maintain control and consistency.
Cycloid supports multiple ways to extend the platform:
- Official Plug-ins: pre-integrated with leading developer and DevOps tools, supported by Cycloid
- Community Plug-ins: maintained by trusted partners, integrators and customers; Cycloid works with 6 of the top 10 global SIs, including Accenture, NTT Data and Capgemini
- Custom Plug-ins: enterprises can build their own plug-ins in any language including Python, Go, JavaScript, using optional VueJs libraries and Cycloid’s open interfaces.
Built API-first and language-agnostic, the system is fully secure, with role-based access controls and global config for seamless org-wide deployments.
“We believe that platform engineering needs to scale efficiently and feel personal. Plug-ins delivers both,” explained Benjamin Brial, Founder, Cycloid.io. “Our approach balances opinionated best practices with open-ended extensibility to deliver an optimal alternative to building from scratch. With Plug-ins, we’re giving every user the keys to build, extend, and personalize their platform, not by starting from zero, but by customizing a ready-made foundation.”
The new release builds on Cycloid’s unique ability to blend core capabilities (RBAC, pipelines, FinOps/GreenOps) with flexible customization. This reinforces Cycloid’s commitment to empowering developer self-service, centralizing key DevOps insights, and simplifying the path to sustainable platform engineering at scale.
