Lightning Talk: Talking in Backstage: How to Navigate the Business and Engineer...
summary
Backstage is presented as a framework for building developer portals that boosts discoverability and autonomy, with a practical glossary: software catalog as a modeled collection of assets, entities as the catalog’s unit of information, plugins as extensible features, and search that spans multiple sources. Three personas (engineers, sponsors, end users) shape adoption; discoverability can take weeks without a portal; hundreds of adopters validate the approach but open source adoption still requires active investment.
