CNCF-hosted Co-located Events North America 2024

You have your Backstage instance set up, the latest plugins installed, and Backstage is the hottest thing in your company. It's so popular that other teams are now eager to contribute and even develop their own plugins. Before you know it, you have a Backstage instance being worked on by multiple teams. While this is great, it also brings its own set of challenges. How do you define ownership? How do you review every pull request that comes in? How do you clean up unused dependencies, and more? Don’t worry! There are many tools in the Backstage open-source ecosystem that can help you address these issues. In this talk, we will cover additional tools from the open-source community that you can use to improve the developer experience for Backstage itself. We’ll discuss how to integrate these tools and also share how we are utilizing them at Spotify.
