Platform teams often become bottlenecks without realizing it. In this episode of the Backstage YouTube series, we break down how Golden Path templates help platform engineers define standards once and scale them automatically across every new service. In this video, we tackle common devops challenges and explore how Golden Path Templates can enhance the developer experience. Learn about workflow optimization and automation integrations that simplify the process for new teams. Join us for a comprehensive platform engineering tutorial on standardizing setups and improving software architecture! You will learn how to move from manual setup and inconsistent configurations to a fully standardized, self-service developer experience using software templates in Backstage.
