Build an IDP without building an IDP
Platform teams spend months building internal developer platforms from scratch with Backstage, Terraform modules, and custom tooling. Developers still wait for ops.
Planton gives you an IDP out of the box. Self-service infrastructure, managed CI/CD, controlled access, and AI assistance — integrated, ready to use, and maintained.
Everything an IDP needs, nothing to build
Six integrated capabilities that replace months of custom platform engineering.
Self-Service Infrastructure
InfraHub presets and the creation wizard let developers provision databases, caches, queues, and clusters without filing tickets or waiting for ops.
Golden Paths
Infra Charts and Service templates encode your organization's best practices into reusable, versioned blueprints that every team inherits.
Managed CI/CD
ServiceHub handles build and deploy with managed pipelines — no YAML in every repo, no Jenkins to maintain, no GitHub Actions sprawl.
Access Control
Centralized credential management for cloud integrations, with RBAC, secrets encryption, and audit trails — without manual permission spreadsheets.
AI Assistance
Agent Fleet provides AI agents that understand your infrastructure context — diagnose failures, suggest configurations, and execute operations.
Developer Experience
Console UI, CLI, and direct pod access — developers choose the interface that fits their workflow. One platform, multiple entry points.
Backstage + custom tooling vs. Planton
Backstage is a framework — you still need to build the platform. Planton is the platform.
