Developer experience (DevEx) is how smoothly engineers can build, test and ship code, shaped by their tools, processes, documentation and feedback loops. Good DevEx removes friction and waiting so teams spend more of their time on product work.
Developer onboarding is the process of giving a new engineer the access, context and support they need to contribute to a codebase and team. Done well, it shortens the time from start date to useful, independent work.
A golden path is the recommended, well-supported route for doing a common engineering task, such as creating a new service or deploying it. Platform teams provide it as templates, automation and documentation that work out of the box.
An internal developer portal is one internal website where engineers find services, owners, docs and self-service templates for building software. It is usually the visible front end of a platform engineering effort.
Platform engineering is the discipline of building an internal developer platform that product teams use to build, deploy and run software. It bundles shared tools, templates and self-service workflows so teams stop reinventing infrastructure.
DevOps is a culture of shared delivery ownership; platform engineering builds an internal product that makes that culture practical at scale. Platform teams give other developers self-service tools and paved paths.
