# Streamlining Backend Development: Reducing Technical Debt and Preventing Template Drift

**[Amplication](https://daily.dev/sources/amplication)** · 7 min read · 21 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) like Backstage, Port, Spotify Portal, and Cortex help streamline workflows and reduce technical debt by standardizing service creation. However, they often fail to maintain alignment with evolving standards, leading to template drift and increased technical debt. Amplication offers a proactive solution with live templates, AI-powered code generation, and automatic maintenance to ensure consistency and compliance. It integrates seamlessly with existing IDPs or can be used as a standalone platform to keep services up-to-date, reducing the manual effort associated with maintaining standards.
