Building a Web-Scale Internal Developer Platform at Alibaba

In this talk, we will share Alibaba’s journey of building a modern Internal Developer Platform (IDP) with Kubernetes and beyond. Including:

  1. Goal and purpose – why we built such infrastructure
  2. Is it a PaaS? (hint: yes and no)
  3. Do we use GitOps? (hint: yes and no)
  4. Do we use IaC? (hint: yes and no)
  5. The scale and current status.
  6. Lessons learned

This system has become the foundation of Alibaba’s core application infrastructure and served more than thousands of developers from both internal and external.
