Backstage: Restoring Order To Your Chaos - Dave Zolotusky, Spotify

The CNCF Landscape is a complex ecosystem of frameworks, technologies, and platforms. Your teams have their own implementations of these technologies. Onboarding new developers is super confusing, and docs are scattered around the place. In short: chaos. The solution to this might be… another portal? Backstage (https://backstage.io), a platform you can use to build your own developer portal. It is highly customisable and adopted by companies like Expedia, Netflix, American Airlines, and Epic Games. Dave will share why Backstage was developed at Spotify, how it became the core of their developer experience, and a CNCF project. You’ll get a quick tour of Backstage, the plugin ecosystem, and some of the key use cases for Backstage. Then he will dig into the Software Templates feature. How templates can help developers quickly get started with new code repositories. He will also cover how you can create custom templates to have your organizations best practices built-in, right from the start!
