The Edge Developer Platform (EDP) is a comprehensive DevOps platform designed to enable developers to build, deploy, and operate cloud-native applications at the edge. It provides an integrated suite of tools and services covering the entire software development lifecycle.

The magenta **EDP** represents the developer platform: a shared, productized layer that enables modern DevOps by standardizing how applications are described, built, deployed, and observed. In the **inner loop**, developers iterate locally (fast feedback: code → run → test). EDP then connects that work to an **outer loop** where additional roles (review, test, operations, audit/compliance) contribute feedback and controls for production readiness.
In this modern DevOps setup, EDP acts as the hub: it synchronizes with local development and **deploys applications to target clouds** (for example, an EdgeConnect cloud), while providing the operational capabilities needed to run them safely. Agentic AI can support both loops—for example by assisting developers with implementation and testing in the inner loop, and by automating reviews, policy checks, release notes, and deployment verification (including drift detection and remediation) in the outer loop.
