Organizations implement microservices architectures in an effort to unlock that tremendous potential for greater productivity while also pursuing more rapid development, increased scalability, independent small team deployments and other benefits. But here’s the catch: The complexity of these architectures adds new difficulties that can hamper the productivity of developers.

Here is why internal developer platforms can fail: Teams that expect a custom developer platform to be the silver bullet for their productivity challenges are often in for a rude awakening when the complexity of the task comes into focus.

For this reason, distinct roles and responsibilities, designed to allow developers to focus on development, are essential to the success of a developer platform.

Advocating for developers and meeting their needs is the cornerstone of success for any developer platform initiative.
