Developer Portals: How to Implement Backstage to Boost your Team Productivity
In this presentation, Marcel Hild, Architect for Red Hat Developer Hub, explores the implementation of Backstage to enhance productivity in developer teams. The focus extends beyond the widely recognized Software Catalog and Templates to cover essential features of the Backstage core platform, illustrating its comprehensive capability as a developer portal framework. Marcel will discuss the strategic advantages of integrating Backstage for Internal Developer Portals (IDP), challenging the notion that its utility is confined to cataloging or templating. <br
Drawing on experiences from introducing Backstage to a large, globally distributed engineering team, Marcel will share insights into the Proof of Concept, deployment, and onboarding processes. The presentation will cover effective practices for ensuring the platform's performance and reliability, including the automation of misconfiguration detection and the application of observability techniques to evaluate the success of Backstage adoption. This session aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how Backstage can serve as a pivotal tool in optimizing developer workflows and infrastructure management.
