Platform engineering has emerged as a solution to the increasing complexity of cloud-native environments and the difficulties enterprises face in scaling DevOps.

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.

Many organizations mistakenly believe that simply adding Backstage to their infrastructure creates a true Internal Developer Platform. While it may offer a quick solution, Backstage alone isn't enough to achieve the full potential of platform engineering. Effective platform engineering goes beyond just the frontend (Backstage), and involves an effective platform backend as well.

Platform engineering has emerged as a solution to the increasing complexity of cloud-native environments and the difficulties enterprises face in scaling DevOps.

When architecting their Internal Developer Platform, teams often face key questions like how to build their backend and which portal to choose as a frontend layer. As Port has emerged as one of the most innovative and widely used portals for Internal Developer Platforms and Humanitec’s Platform Orchestrator is the de-facto enterprise standard for graph-based backends for these platforms, this webinar will highlight how their combination can answer these questions and present a bulletproof solution for the enterprise.

Too many organizations make the mistake of slapping Backstage on top of their setup and calling it an Internal Developer Platform. This might be a quick fix, but Backstage alone is not your platform and it won’t deliver the results that platform engineering promises. Good platform engineering requires more than just the front end (Backstage), it requires a backend too.

Platform engineering has emerged in response to the growing complexity of cloud native and the challenge of scaling DevOps in enterprises.

Want to build a platform? Why not just add Backstage or any other portal on top of your setup and call it a day? The reality is portals are (useful) interfaces to your platform. They are NOT your platform. In this talk, we’ll show how portals like Backstage are complemented by platform backends (Platform Orchestrators) to ship an Internal Developer Platform that’s ready for primetime.

If you don’t build your platform, it will build itself. Almost every organization has major parts of a platform already in place (think CI/CD, IaC, GitOps). The question is whether you keep your setup free-floating, or standardize it by building an enterprise-grade Internal Developer Platform (IDP).

When Broadcom closed their acquisition of VMware it was clear that the typical licensing price changes would soon come for VMware clients and partners. Especially for those 299,400 customers that Broadcom has officially announced they don't care about as they prioritize only the top 600 customers.

Is multicloud something you strive for? The reality is multicloud more often than not is a need, not a want. Luckily, Kaspar will show you how to architect IDPs that work smoothly across any estate.

Platform engineering has emerged in response to the growing complexity of cloud native and the challenge of scaling DevOps to the enterprise. Backstage played a key role in popularizing the importance of building a layer on top of your cloud-native stack to enable developer self-service. But its implementation and adoption can be very tricky, and it’s often not the answer to a lot of the challenges enterprise organizations face. Humanitec complements Backstage to make it truly ready for an enterprise rollout.

How do you position platform engineering with your managers? How do you actually position ANYTHING with your managers? How do managers set prios? And execute them? Kaspar has more than a decade of C-Level experience and he lives platform engineering every day. Who better to explain how to hack managers?

Kubernetes is an extremely powerful technology and is a darling of the DevOps universe for very good reasons. However, implementing it across an engineering organization is not straightforward and often tricky. The promises of resource efficiency, scalability and better app and infrastructure management can often turn into Ops nightmares. In the last few months, we ran an extensive survey on the performance of Kubernetes setups of teams of all sizes. In this webinar, we will share our key findings and learnings.
