But it\u2019s not just developers who could benefit from AI soon \u2014 so could nurses, thanks to a new startup supported by the Allen Institute\u2019s AI2 Incubator. \u2014 Anna<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n Internal developer portals have emerged as a one-stop shop that lets developers in an organization access all the microservices and tools available to them. But they are not just service catalogs: They also enable companies to build self-serve actions that developers can perform.<\/p>\n For instance, developers can use these portals to access reusable services that will let them create a microservice, set up a developer environment in the cloud, or request permissions.<\/p>\n The wider adoption of internal developer portals is correlated to another trend: the rise of platform engineering teams<\/a>, whose role is to empower other developers. Both of these concepts have become central to improving the developer experience, a priority for many organizations.<\/p>\n Organizations aren\u2019t moved purely by the goodness of their hearts.

But companies have also realized that improving DevEx can have a huge impact on their entire business.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
