Platform Engineering with Backstage: Building Internal Developer Portals That Stick - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

What if the biggest bottleneck in your engineering org isn't talent—or even your tools—but the invisible friction between them?
Your developers aren't slow. They're exhausted. Exhausted by context-switching across a dozen dashboards. Exhausted by hunting for service owners in Slack. Exhausted by documentation that lives in six different places. Platform engineering promised to fix this, but most internal portals become digital graveyards—ignored, outdated, and quietly resented.
This changes now.
Inside this book, you'll find:

• The concrete architectural pattern Spotify used to scale Backstage to thousands of engineers—without creating a centralized bottleneck or platform team bloat
• Why "developer experience" is measured in deployment frequency and time-to-onboard, not satisfaction surveys
• How to design plugins that feel native to teams' existing workflows instead of forcing painful migrations
• The governance model that prevents your platform from becoming another siloed tool (and who should actually own what)
• Real cost models: When Backstage saves money vs. when it hides your real platform debt
• Why AI coding assistants make a service catalog urgent infrastructure, not optional tooling
• Case studies of platform teams that failed—and the specific changes that flipped adoption from 20% to 80%

Platform Engineering with Backstage is the hands-on guide for engineers who've been told "build us a platform" with no budget and no headcount. From first commit to enterprise SSO integration, from writing your first plugin to measuring platform ROI, this book covers the decisions that determine success. Chapters map to real implementation phases, so you can read linearly or jump to the problem you're solving today.
Stop building tools developers tolerate. Start building a portal they actually prefer.
Buy Platform Engineering with Backstage today and build the platform your engineering org deserves.
