By 2026, 80% of large software engineering organizations will establish platform engineering and internal developer portals (IDP), according to Gartner. This is not surprising, given the immense advantage IDPs offer. By providing a centralized hub for resources, tools, and documentation, IDPs streamline the development process, saving valuable time and resources. Smooth developer experience not only enhances dev productivity but also cultivates a culture of innovation and fosters collaboration among the development teams. However, building a developer platform can be a complex process.
In this webinar, we’ll explore developer portals and examine their impact on improving developer efficiency and explore Backstage by Spotify. We will also look at the importance of developer experience for a successful platform, the challenges of building a developer portal, and the impact of AI on their future. Backstage SMEs from Spotify team will show how to leverage it to easily create a developer portal. Additionally, we will see how adding Soundcheck plugin to Backstage helps codify standards and incentivize tech health improvements to drive developer productivity.
