Kehitysalustoista, known in English as development platforms, are integrated environments that provide a comprehensive set of tools and services for software development. These platforms aim to streamline the entire software development lifecycle, from initial design and coding to testing, deployment, and maintenance. They typically include features such as code editors, debuggers, compilers, version control systems, build automation tools, and often integrated testing and deployment pipelines.

The primary goal of a development platform is to increase developer productivity and accelerate the delivery of software. By centralizing various tools and functionalities, they reduce the need for developers to manually integrate and manage disparate systems. This can lead to faster development cycles, improved code quality through consistent tooling, and easier collaboration among team members.

Development platforms can vary widely in scope and specialization. Some are general-purpose, supporting a broad range of programming languages and application types. Others are designed for specific domains, such as mobile app development, web development, game development, or cloud-native applications. Cloud-based development platforms, often referred to as Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), offer further advantages by providing scalable infrastructure and managed services, allowing developers to focus more on writing code and less on managing underlying hardware. The selection of a development platform often depends on project requirements, team expertise, and organizational goals.
