Why I Changed My Mind About Backstage? A Brutally Honest Opinion
DevOps & AI Toolkit
@devopstoolkitAbout
We want to help you learn the tools and the processes that you should be using and applying in your day-to-day job. We want to help you make decisions. What works well, what doesn't work, why you should choose one tool over the other, and how to get up-to-speed quickly. Which tool works the best for a given task? What should we explore in more depth, and what is a waste of time? This channel has AI & DevOps in the name because we believe that the only way forward is to combine different types of expertise, be it development, or operations, or AI, or anything else. Ultimately, we need to be able to develop, test, deploy, and operate our systems without friction caused by silos formed around distinct types of expertise. Hence, our focus is on bridging the gap by focusing on the topics that allow developers, operators, and everyone else to work together by adopting tools and processes that are relevant today and foster collaboration.

Video Description
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! #Backstage #Kubernetes #Plugins #ScottRosenberg Consider joining the channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/devopstoolkit/join ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🔗 Additional Info 🔗 ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➡ Transcript and commands: https://devopstoolkit.live/internal-developer-platforms/why-i-changed-my-mind-about-backstage-a-brutally-honest-opinion 🔗 Backstage: https://backstage.io/ 🎬 Should We Run Databases In Kubernetes?
