What is the Compliance-Ready Internal Developer Platforms course about?

Internal developer platforms often fail to scale because they lack built-in compliance, auditability, and executive visibility. Teams deliver speed for developers but leave risk teams in the dark, leading to delayed rollouts, governance pushback, and lost momentum.
