An introductory post in a 5-part series on building an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) using Octopus Deploy. Covers setting up a free Octopus Cloud trial and the Octopus AI Assistant Chrome extension, then defines key terms: DevOps (broadly, any tech team practice), Platform Engineering (scaling architectural decisions), and IDP (tools and processes for distributing those decisions). Explains how Platform Engineering relates to CI/CD and how Octopus Platform Hub supports it through Git-based workflows and SemVer versioning of shared process templates.
