Agent-first IDP: how big tech and the clouds are preparing platforms for agents
Evolving an Internal Developer Platform for AI agents requires implementing machine-readable contracts, agent identity, and policy-gated infrastructure state.
What: The guide details a transition from IDP to 'Agentic Engineering Platform' (AEP) using four maturity levels: demand discovery, machine-readable contracts, policy enforcement, and autonomous agents.
Why it matters: Existing platforms built for humans lack the reliability and structured interfaces that AI agents need to operate safely without constant human intervention.
Decoder

- AEP (Agentic Engineering Platform): An evolution of an IDP specifically designed to provide agents with a reliable, policy-compliant execution environment.
