Backstage: Spotify Developer Portals with Stefan Ålund

Infrastructure at Spotify runs at high speeds. Developers work autonomously, building and deploying services all the time. Backstage is an open source platform built at Spotify that allows developers to build portals for making sense of their infrastructure. Backstage developer portals are powered by a central service catalog, with centralized services and streamlined development. Stefan Alund joins the show to explain how Backstage works and their role in developing it.
