Skyscrapers Reference Developer Platform for SaaS
Don’t reinvent the wheel and accelerate your developers by deploying your SaaS workloads on a
proven, scalable and reliable developer cloud platform based on Amazon Web Services and Kubernetes.
Why You Should Consider A Developer Platform
A developer platform is a pre-integrated set of cloud services, open-source technologies, best practices and predetermined standards (golden paths). It is delivered and managed by the Skyscrapers Platform team. It covers most common cloud and DevOps needs developers face during the SaaS application lifecycle.
The benefits are clear:
The Developer Platform offered by Skyscrapers is really your own Internal Developer Platform (IDP).
