# What is an internal _developer platform?_

An internal developer platform is the shared path a software team uses to build, ship, and run applications. Delivery, observability, secrets, and cluster operations live in one place.

## What Resizes means by it

[Resizes Platform](https://resiz.es/products/platform) is a managed internal developer platform on Kubernetes, installed and operated in your cloud account. Most teams run it on AWS and EKS. You keep the account. The [managed platform engagement](https://resiz.es/services/managed-internal-developer-platform) is how that gets installed and operated.

It is an opinionated bundle, not a catalogue of parts. Repeatable delivery replaces a ticket for every cluster change. Platform engineers spend time on architecture. Application teams ship.

Compare that with [Platform versus assembling EKS yourself](https://resiz.es/guides/platform-versus-diy-eks).
