GoldenPath IDP
A production-grade Internal Developer Platform with governance, automation, and self-service infrastructure: everything your engineering teams need to ship with confidence.
Capabilities
Governance-first delivery for platform teams
Six pillars that turn policy into repeatable delivery. Each pillar is backed by real artifacts and enforcement logic.
Governance as Code
30+ governance policies encoded as automated gates. Every PR, deployment, and architecture decision runs through deterministic validation, no manual reviews slowing you down.
- TDD enforcement gates
- Schema & contract validation
- Script certification pipeline
Golden Path Workflows
Pre-approved paths through your infrastructure. Developers self-serve from certified templates, scripts, and architectures: innovation within guardrails.
- 89+ certified scripts
- Multi-environment promotion
- Backstage service catalog
Living Documentation
Architecture Decision Records, runbooks, and onboarding guides that stay current through CI validation. Documentation that drifts is documentation that fails.
- 678+ validated pages
- 183+ Architecture Decisions
- Auto-validated links & refs
RAG-Powered Knowledge
Ask questions about your platform in natural language. Hybrid retrieval across documentation, ADRs, and runbooks with source-attributed answers.
- ChromaDB + Neo4j retrieval
- Source attribution
- Multi-provider LLM support
Security-First Design
CodeQL scanning, pre-commit hooks, dependency auditing, and secrets detection, built into the platform, not bolted on.
- Automated vulnerability scanning
- Pre-commit security hooks
- Infrastructure policy enforcement
AI Agent Protocols
Structured protocols for AI-assisted engineering with guardrails, session capture, and deterministic quality gates. AI that follows your rules.
- Agent execution protocols
- Session capture & summary
- Quality gate enforcement

Governance Policies
Explore the policies that enforce quality
Expand a policy to see what it enforces and an example gate output. These are representative guardrails used in the GoldenPath delivery pipeline.
Security & Quality
Visible gates, measurable trust
These are the representative security and quality checks we run to protect platform changes. Status reflects our current delivery pipeline.
SAST
Static analysis on PRs and main to catch security flaws early.
Secrets Detection
Blocks committed secrets and sensitive tokens in CI.
SBOM Generation
Produces a software bill of materials for traceability.
Vulnerability Scan
Scans containers and dependencies for known CVEs.
Policy Gates
TDD, schema validation, and contract checks block unsafe merges.
Dependency Audit
Routine dependency audits for license and risk posture.

CNCF Native
Built on open standards, not vendor lock-in
GoldenPath is built on CNCF Graduated and Incubating projects: battle-tested, community-governed, and portable across any cloud. Your team owns the platform. You're not renting it.
Platform API & orchestration layer
GitOps continuous delivery
Developer portal & service catalog
Policy enforcement & admission control
Metrics collection & alerting
Observability dashboards
Full Stack
Production-grade tools for production-grade platforms.
