Internal Developer Platform

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.

Enforced

SAST

Static analysis on PRs and main to catch security flaws early.

CodeQL
Enforced

Secrets Detection

Blocks committed secrets and sensitive tokens in CI.

Gitleaks
Enforced

SBOM Generation

Produces a software bill of materials for traceability.

Syft
Enforced

Vulnerability Scan

Scans containers and dependencies for known CVEs.

Trivy
Enforced

Policy Gates

TDD, schema validation, and contract checks block unsafe merges.

Custom CI Gates
Planned

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.
