Why Internal Developer Portal?
Increase developer productivity & satisfaction with centralized software knowledge and developer task automation.
Faster Developer Onboarding
Get new developers productive faster. Slow onboarding drains resources and impacts project timelines. An Internal Developer Portal transforms this into a swift, efficient ramp-up, boosting team velocity.
Developer Self-service with Guardrails
Much developer time is lost to routine, non-innovative tasks (toil). Harness IDP automates these through workflows with built-in standards and guardrails, freeing resources for innovation and keeping you in control.
Simplified access to tools and knowledge
Developers face cognitive overload from numerous tools and scattered information. Harness IDP acts as a central system, bringing order and clarity to this complexity.
Ensure software meets standards and compliance
Maintaining consistent practices and ensuring software quality are persistent challenges. Harness IDP provides the framework and tools to instill discipline and drive production readiness.
Onboarding
Faster Developer and Service Onboarding
New developers often face a frustrating scavenger hunt for the right documentation and people while wrestling with complex environment setups, stalling projects before they can even contribute.

Build Software Templates with best practices baked in
Harness IDP's "golden paths" utilize compliant templates for rapid deployment, letting developers start quickly, instead of waiting for traditionally slow manual processes.
One-Click Environment Setup
Ensure every developer starts with a consistent, pre-configured setup. Harness IDP’s self-service offers consistent means for creating environments, tools, and infrastructure, eliminating "it works on my machine" issues.
Software Catalog
Your Engineering Center of Knowledge
A Catalog That Stays Updated
Effortlessly keep the catalog current with updates via Git, API, or UI, ensuring high adoption and a reliably fresh source of truth by fitting into existing workflows.
A Single Place to Find Everything
Instantly find service owners, tech docs, APIs, and more with a powerful, unified search that queries your entire ecosystem. This consolidated view ends constant context switching, so developers get answers immediately without having to ask.
Track dependencies across services
Who’s using this? What might break if we update this API? Visualize upstream and downstream dependencies in a clear graph, allowing developers to instantly assess the impact of changes and prevent breaking services.

Measure software maturity
Gain confidence by measuring if a service is really gold standard from a DevOps, Security and Development maturity view. Of course, you get to define what those standards are in your organization.
Drive migrations and adoption of standards
Planning to run a long upgrade of the core framework version or a programming language? Get an overview of the trend - how many applications have migrated and which ones need a push.
Enforce Best Practices
Is the API success rate good? Is the documentation up to date? Does a service use the stable versions of your tech stack? Track everything using checks, and holding teams accountable for your best practices.
Security & Governance
Enterprise-Grade Security & Governance
Automated Governance with Policy-as-Code
Codify your governance rules using Open Policy Agent (OPA) to automatically enforce security and operational policies at scale, ensuring consistent and repeatable enforcement.
SSO and Precise Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Implement a precise security model using a combination of SSO, team hierarchy, and role-based permissions, ensuring every user has exactly the access they need—and nothing more.
Full Visibility for Audit and Compliance
Maintain a complete, immutable record of every action taken within the platform, providing full visibility for security audits, incident response, and compliance requirements.
Backstage
Backstage Without the Overhead
Adopt or Migrate to Harness IDP with Ease
Harness IDP is an extension of the Backstage framework, protecting your investment. Seamlessly migrate your current instance to our managed platform and gain advanced capabilities without rebuilding.
Get Enterprise Features from Day One
Open-source Backstage lacks crucial enterprise capabilities like RBAC, SSO, and powerful orchestration, requiring huge engineering investment. Harness IDP includes these features, ready to go.
Eliminate Maintenance and Upgrade Headaches
Self-managing Backstage means constant work—security patching, version upgrades, and infrastructure maintenance. Harness IDP is a fully managed SaaS platform, so we handle all of that for you.
