containerised backspace IDP

How can we make it easier for developers to find what they need, create new services, and follow engineering standards without adding more complexity?

This session introduces our approach to running Backstage as a containerised Internal Developer Platform. We’ll walk through the architecture, developer experience, deployment model, and key capabilities, while sharing practical lessons from building and operating the platform.

Backstage: can we deliver golden paths and a single IDP

In this session I will go in-depth on the possibility of the use of backstage as a single IDP that a company can use for their developers to deploy and test their software. Going from golden paths on Azure to full platforms on K8s.

How we can go from a modular deployment pipeline repo to a smart deployment survey that will help you deploy what you need and clean up after you as well. This session will explore those possibilities and the journey of going that way.

This session is for the visionairs, the platform engineers that want to think of something cool, or a architect that is looking for a way to make everyones life easier.
