A developer portal and a control plane provide infrastructure management capabilities and an easy-to-use UI to drive self-service actions.

The New Stack is a publication covering trends and technologies in cloud-native development, DevOps, and software delivery. Developers can learn about containerization, Kubernetes, and cloud computing, as well as explore topics such as microservices architecture, serverless computing, and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.

Engineering organizations are experiencing difficulty managing infrastructure, leading to low velocity. To address this, many organizations are establishing platform engineering teams and implementing internal developer portals. These portals provide a unified control plane for managing the platform and offering self-service functionality to developers. By leveraging tools like Crossplane and Port, engineers can easily create and manage infrastructure resources through a simple and abstracted UI.
