DX Radar collects and curates the newest content on developer experience from across the web.
Developer Experience (DX) is now emerging as a core focus for DevOps teams who want to accelerate delivery, minimize friction, reduce cognitive load, and create an environment where developers can actually do what they do best: build great software.
In this episode of Labs Talk, we explore the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence on the developer experience in coding. Our guest, Tim Back, sha...
The panelists discuss designing platform architecture where product, platform, and operations meet. Experts share best practices for reducing cognitive load, balancing core ops vs. innovation, measuring success (lead time, cost avoidance), and enabling developers through self-service and golden path deviations.
Transitioning from DevOps to Platform Engineering? This guide maps the essential technical and product skills you need, from mastering golden paths and developer portals to adopting product thinking and user research. Learn how to leverage your DevOps foundation for success in building Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs).
The complexity of modern software development has reached a tipping point. Platform engineering has risen to prominence because of how complex modern software development is, with traditional tech stacks consisting of fractured tools that require both expertise and manual labor to use effectively. The industry’s response—platform engineering—represents not merely another DevOps iteration but a fundamental reconceptualization of how organizations structure their development ecosystems. According to Gartner, by 2026, 80% of large software engineering organizations will have platform engineering teams providing reusable services, up from 45% in 2022.
How leading engineering organizations build internal developer platforms that accelerate delivery, reduce friction, and create measurable competitive advantage
I'm at lunch with a bunch of senior technology managers, and one is regaling the table with his latest initiative to improve his software development teams. He's launching a metrics program that will tell him which teams and staff members are the most productive so that he can promote those and fire the worst. This is a professional setting, so I'm trying my best not to roll my eyes. Attempting to get a word in edgeways, I ask what metrics he's using, and follow up by asking him if he's trying to consider business outcomes, at least to correlate them to his measurements. Sadly I'm not getting anywhere, it's hard to convince someone to look for their keys in the bushes instead of under the lamp post.
System metrics show what is slow, but a deep-dive developer survey reveals why, turning hidden friction into actionable engineering insights.
A comprehensive framework for platform engineers and leaders to measure developer productivity and platform ROI. Learn why traditional metrics fail, and how to use DORA and SPACE frameworks for accurate assessment.
Claude Code and Cursor are associated with higher PR throughput, but org size and company stage play a big role.
