​​Backstage: Platform engineering dream or nightmare?

Many organizations mistakenly assume that simply integrating Backstage into their infrastructure creates a complete Internal Developer Platform. While it provides a convenient starting point, Backstage alone isn’t sufficient to unlock the full potential of platform engineering. True platform engineering goes beyond just the frontend (Backstage); it also requires a robust and effective platform backend.

In this webinar, you'll discover the importance of having both a frontend and backend for your platform. Kaspar will demonstrate how to integrate open-source interfaces like Score and Backstage with a Platform Orchestrator, such as Humanitec, to build a powerful, enterprise-grade Internal Developer Platform (IDP).

We’ll cover:

• How to combine Backstage as the platform frontend with a Platform Orchestrator as the backend to create a developer-friendly platform
• Using IDP reference architectures as blueprints for enterprise solutions
• A live demo highlighting the developer experience on a fully-featured platform
