Engineering Mess Backstage Cleans Up Scale, Boosts Devs!

Description

Backstage is Spotify’s open-source Internal Developer Portal (IDP) framework for platform engineering: a Developer Portal / Developer Platform that helps DevOps and Software Engineering teams ship faster with less friction. In this video you’ll learn how Backstage centralises your software catalog, TechDocs, templates (golden paths), and integrations so engineers stop hunting across dashboards and start building. What you’ll learn: - What Backstage is (and what it isn’t) - The Software Catalog: ownership, health, dependencies, and “where everything lives” - Scorecards for standards and compliance at scale - Templates + scaffolding to create services the right way from day one - TechDocs: docs in-repo, browsable, and discoverable - Plugins: connect your existing stack (GitHub, Jenkins, PagerDuty, Kubernetes, Datadog, etc.) The trade-offs: adoption effort, platform team workload, and when it’s overkill #PlatformEngineering #Backstage #DeveloperPortal
