DevProdEng Lowdown: Why Spotify created Backstage.io to accelerate DPE

Backstage is an open source framework for building developer portals, created at Spotify, donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and adopted by hundreds of companies. 

 

In the next episode of DevProdEng Lowdown on July 12, Lee Mills, Senior Engineering Manager at Spotify/Backstage, will discuss the origins of this fast-rising developer tool that gives developers a uniform overview of all their resources, regardless of how and where they are running, as well as an easy way to onboard and start using those tools. 

 

Topics include: 

  • What is Backstage? (Short demo) 

  • How did Backstage start at Spotify? 

  • How did Backstage get executive sponsorship?

  • What are some Backstage DPE/DevX wins at Spotify? 

  • Who are some notable Backstage adopters in the community?
