Platform Engineering and Internal Developer Platforms Corporate Training
Self-service platforms that let developers ship faster with less friction
This instructor-led program teaches your platform and engineering teams to design internal developer platforms that remove delivery friction. Through guided labs, they build portals, paved-road pipelines, and self-service workflows, so every team ships faster with consistent quality and governance.

Program Overview: What is Platform Engineering and Internal Developer Platforms?
Platform Engineering & Internal Developer Platforms is Edstellar's instructor-led program for platform and infrastructure teams building internal developer platforms. Participants cover platform product mindset, internal developer portals and service catalogs, paved-road CI/CD templates, infrastructure as code, observability, and platform security and governance. The focus stays on platforms developers actually use.
Across 30 hours, participants design portal experiences, build CI/CD templates and environment provisioning in guided labs, and practice infrastructure as code with instructor review. Observability and reliability modules apply platform-team thinking, and governance exercises balance guardrails with developer autonomy. The program closes with a capstone: building an internal developer platform slice.
Platform teams fail by building for themselves: portals nobody visits, templates nobody adopts, paved roads that lead nowhere developers want to go. This program teaches the product mindset that makes platforms succeed, building what developers need and measuring adoption like a product team. Adoption becomes the metric that matters.
The closing build is a working platform slice: the team ships a portal page, a paved-road template, and an environment provisioning flow that a developer can actually use. Shipping something real in the capstone is what proves the product mindset, because the hardest part of platform engineering is not the technology, it is the adoption.
The program is designed for platform, DevOps, and senior engineering teams responsible for developer productivity. Each module pairs concise concept delivery with a guided lab: participants scaffold service templates, automate environment provisioning, wire observability into platform services, and enforce policy with code. The capstone brings it together as a working internal developer platform slice, reviewed end to end with the instructor.

Skills progress from platform-as-product thinking to operating secure, adopted internal developer platforms.
One program that grows with platform careers, from platform basics to confident internal platform ownership.
Mixed cohort, or several teams at once?
We can tailor the training to different teams, roles, and experience levels within the same program.
Certificate of Training Completion.

Build Internal Developer Platform Capabilities Around Usable, Governed Self-Service Workflows
Edstellar helps platform teams connect developer needs with practical shared tooling. Participants define a platform value hypothesis, build catalog and scaffolding components, and connect reusable pipelines with infrastructure automation. Observability and governance exercises culminate in a working platform slice, reviewed for developer experience, reliability signals, and clearly identified gaps.
- Step 01
Consult
We examine current delivery workflows, CI/CD experience, and shared-tooling pain points to identify where service discovery, provisioning, or platform governance needs improvement.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish a platform product perspective before portal and catalog design, paved-road pipelines, infrastructure automation, observability, and policy controls for self-service workflows.
- Step 03
Align
We align platform engineering expertise with the cohort's tooling and cloud maturity, confirming environments suited to template, IaC, and GitOps practice.
- Step 04
Customize
We tailor sample service entries and scaffolding workflows to familiar developer journeys, including ephemeral environments, drift scenarios, and representative cost or policy constraints.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants build catalog entries, automate provisioning, and instrument platform services, receiving feedback on template usability, SLO choices, drift handling, and policy enforcement.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the demonstrated platform slice for a coherent self-service journey, reusable automation, observable service behavior, effective guardrails, and an honest account of remaining gaps.
