Developer Portal
The Ocado Developer Portal is designed as a central hub for managing applications and their resources, aiming to provide frictionless AWS deployment while ensuring robust governance, security, productivity, and cost-efficiency. It enables development teams to focus on core business value rather than infrastructure management, by streamlining processes and providing consolidated access to vital information and tools. The portal acts as a managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) layer over AWS, automating the provisioning and management of AWS resources needed for application deployment.
Centralised Control and Governance

The Developer Portal serves as the central hub for information about your applications and their resources. At its core, the Catalog allows you to register your applications, their details, and ownership information. This integrated ownership data ensures that only authorised application owners can manage their respective applications. Regular prompts for data accuracy reviews significantly enhance governance and simplify audit processes, providing strong oversight of your software landscape.

Efficient Discovery and Collaboration

The portal allows users to browse resources owned by a given application. It offers easy discoverability of all services available on the platform, aiming to prevent duplicated effort and foster better collaboration among engineering teams. This also helps in keeping you effortlessly informed about your software entities, their documentation, and dependencies.

The portal provides a quick and secure service to get temporary elevated access to protected applications, data, and resources. This enhances security and compliance by offering auditable access to critical systems, ensuring operations remain secure and compliant. It simplifies security best practices, making it easier for users to cope with strict security requirements.

The process for approving access requests has been significantly improved, with metrics demonstrating a fast approval time, typically under 1.5 minutes. This rapid approval minimizes delays while maintaining necessary security gates. The platform ensures that access to production is not removed, but becomes more structured and secure, allowing developers to maintain essential access when needed.

The temporary access tool is designed to be extensible. This means that if a client requires temporary access to other services in the future, they can either implement it themselves or engage Ocado Developer Platform Team to develop the necessary integrations, ensuring the platform can adapt to evolving needs.
