Backstage backlash: What went wrong?

Many organizations assume that adding Backstage to their infrastructure is enough to create a complete, and successful Internal Developer Platform. While Backstage can be a useful starting point, it alone isn't enough to realize the full potential of platform engineering. A true IDP requires more than just a frontend, it needs a robust, well-structured backend to deliver real value.
Speaker
Kaspar von Grünberg
CEO @ Humanitec
Speaker

In this webinar, Kaspar will explore why a successful platform needs both a strong frontend and backend. He will demonstrate how to integrate open-source tools like Score and Backstage with a Platform Orchestrator like Humanitec to build a scalable, enterprise-grade Internal Developer Platform (IDP).

Kaspar will cover:

  • Using Backstage as the frontend and a Platform Orchestrator as the backend to build a seamless developer experience.
  • Applying IDP reference architectures as blueprints for scalable enterprise platforms.
  • A live demo of a fully-featured platform and its developer workflow.

After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.

A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.​
