Without a standardized foundation, InnerSource efforts struggle to scale as inconsistencies across teams lead to inefficiencies, delays, and misaligned governance practices. Contributors face challenges in understanding and integrating with unfamiliar environments, while teams resist external contributions due to perceived risks or integration overhead. An Internal Developer Platform (IDP) mitigates these issues by providing a self-service, unified platform that standardizes tools, processes, and environments. This enables InnerSource contributors to focus on delivering value rather than overcoming technical incompatibilities, fostering a culture of collaboration and accelerating the adoption of InnerSource at scale.
