The Developer Portal: Open the Gate to Productivity 🚀
summary
Shows a working developer portal built on the Backstage service catalog that pulls existing ArgoCD, Buildkite, Kubernetes, Jira, SonarQube and Vault integrations into one UI. Demo installs locally (mpx create-app, Node, yarn, Docker, git; yarn dev), registers components via manifest YAML and scaffolds a node.js template into a GitHub repo. Claims self‑service cuts friction, lowers MTTR and raises deployment cadence — cited example achieving 40 releases per day for 250 microservices across multiple clouds.
