Golden cage syndrome: Why 80% of Internal Developer Platforms fail (3 minute read)
A wave of expensive Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) are failing because companies build them for control rather than developer experience, creating "golden cages" with rigid abstractions that engineers actively avoid in favor of direct cloud access. The 80% failure rate stems from three core issues: assuming mandatory adoption will work, measuring vanity metrics like deploy speed instead of cognitive load reduction, and creating abstractions without escape hatches that trap developers when things break.
