EDP is a product developed by the IPCEI-CIS subproject 'edge Developer Framework'. The goal is to provide a cutting edge developer experience for developing and delivering applications in the cloud edge continuum.
[edpbuilder](https://forgejo.edf-bootstrap.cx.fg1.ffm.osc.live/DevFW/edpbuilder) is a tool to quickly instantiate and manage Internal Development Platforms (IDPs).
The Edge Development Platform Builder (edpbuilder) can easily setup a Kubenetes cluster (local kind cluster or OSC instance) and deploy tools to manage the Kubernetes resources and the software lifecicle of an application.
One usecase to demonstrate the capabilities and development lifecycle flow through all stack components is the [PetClinic Application](./docs/user-documentation/petclinic.md)
The EDP documentation is subject to this repo in folder [`docs`](./docs/). It is created in the [`mkdocs`](https://www.mkdocs.org/) documentation format and natively embedded in the [`Backstage TechDocs` documentation technology](https://backstage.io/docs/features/techdocs/).
