This came up on Reddit. IMO, Inner platforms are a superset of duck programming. “Inner platform” describes the implementation, while “duck programming” describes the process. If we make a DSL that encodes business rules, I think you could say it’s an inner platform of sorts. If that DSL is updated live in production by design without being wrapped in risk management process, I think you have duck programming.
