Why I Changed My Mind About Backstage? A Brutally Honest Opinion
Why I Changed My Mind About Backstage? A Brutally Honest Opinion
In this video, I share my evolving perspective on Backstage, a popular developer portal platform. Despite my initial skepticism due to its architectural choices and plugin quality, my view changed after seeing its potential through the eyes of Scott Rosenberg. Join me as I explore how to set up, configure, and deploy Backstage with custom plugins, and why it might be the Kubernetes of developer portals. Learn the step-by-step process and discover the power of automation and reproducibility in managing your developer tools. Watch till the end to see the future of Backstage unfold!
