The “coming soon” holding page has gone and the first iteration of the website is live.
What’s the plan?
Over the next few months, we will be building a viable IDP service, that will offer an affordable solution to everyone. And we really mean all developers/software engineers when we say “everyone” as there will be a powerful, feature rich offering for open source solutions in public repositories in Github from day one.
