Platform Engineering ROI: What it costs to build your own platform

Building an internal developer platform can cost $10 million to $15 million over five years. This is due to the high cost of talent, infrastructure, and maintenance. Most companies underestimate these costs, leading to project delays and budget overruns. To mitigate this, companies should carefully plan and budget for their platform engineering efforts. They should also consider alternative solutions, such as using existing platforms or outsourcing development.
