Weeks of scoping, sprints of plugin development, endless YAML configurations, and a dedicated team just to get a service catalog live. By the time it shipped, half the requirements had changed. What if you could do it in minutes? In this session, I’ll build a fully functional developer portal live on stage - from an empty screen to a working platform - using nothing but natural language prompts. A service catalog mapped to real infrastructure, self-service actions with manual approvals, dashboards tracking engineering standards, and custom logic tailored to how your organization works. But that’s just the foundation for what comes next. Developer portals are evolving from dashboards engineers look at into platforms that act on their behalf. Once your portal understands your services, ownership model, and standards, it has the context to power agentic workflows that go beyond a UI. I’ll show that progression live: from catalog, to self-service, to an agentic workflow that triages and resolves an incident on its own. Whether you’re running Backstage, evaluating alternatives, or starting from scratch - you’ll walk away with a concrete picture of where developer portals are headed, how fast you can get there, and what “agentic” actually looks like when it’s not just a buzzword.
