| 1 | | Per Port's 2024 State of Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) report, 50% of respondents have started implementing a portal or plan to do so in the next year (35%). Port surveyed 100 engineering leaders from the U.S. and Western Europe to prepare the report. More: - Among developers who use an internal developer portal, 53% use in-house, backstage, and commercial products, while 35% use spreadsheets, which are not considered a true IDP.
- Over half (56%) expect an IDP to improve developer productivity, followed by reduced time to deployment (25%), the mere use of the portal (11%), and fewer open tickets (8%).
- 78% of developers said they spend three or more hours each day on non-core work because of not adopting platform engineering.
- Organizations reported using surveys (43%) and custom reports (31%) to measure developer productivity. Other measures included the DevEx framework (15%), DORA metrics (5%), and SPACE (5%).
