This video introduces Backstage from a platform and production perspective. It explains why engineering organizations adopt Backstage as an Internal Developer Platform and how it helps teams manage growing software ecosystems without adding more operational complexity. You will learn how Backstage is structured around a centralized software catalog, a plugin-based architecture, and an abstraction layer that sits above existing tools such as CI/CD systems, Kubernetes, and Git-based workflows. The focus is on understanding Backstage’s role in real DevOps and Platform Engineering environments, not on replacing existing tooling. The video also explains how concepts like ownership, service discovery, documentation, and standardization are handled in Backstage, and why these problems become critical at scale. It is designed for engineers and tech leads who want a clear mental model before adopting or extending Backstage in production. This content is intended for DevOps engineers, Platform Engineers, and SREs who work with Kubernetes, GitOps, and internal platforms and need a practical, architecture-level understanding of Backstage and its impact on developer experience. #DevOps #Cloud #Backstage #IDP #platformengineering
