Future Tech 2022: Suzanne Daniels – Hej! An intro to Backstage

You have a complex ecosystem of frameworks, technologies, and platforms. Each with their own portal or tooling surrounding it. To make it work better, your autonomous teams all have their own implementation. Onboarding new developers is super confusing, and docs are scattered around the place. The solution to all this fragmentation might as well be.. another portal? Backstage [https://backstage.io] is a platform, which you can use to build your developer portal. It’s a thriving Open Source project donated to CNCF, and adopted by companies like Expedia, Netflix, American Airlines, and Epic Games. Suzanne will share the story why Backstage was developed at Spotify and how it became the core of Developer Experience at Spotify. You’ll get a brief tour of the Backstage platform, the plugin ecosystem, and get an understanding of the key use cases for Backstage.
