Session Name: Backstage: The Ultimate Access Pass to Maximum Developer Efficiency

Investing in a good developer experience is a must for any organization. Since we started using containers and a microservices-based architecture, the developer experience has taken a hit. In this talk, we will start by discussing what developer experience is, why it is important, the impacts it can create and how it has changed since our shift to the cloud. We will then present a solution to improve the developer experience when working on cloud-native applications in the form of Backstage, a CNCF project created by Spotify. The talk will cover the benefits to developer productivity that come with investing in an internal developer platform (IDP). We will show a demo of how you can use Backstage to create an IDP which will help boost developer productivity across your team.
