"The company has now extended its developer tools to be coalesced inside the new Spotify Portal. This is an Internal Developer Platform built by Spotify's Backstage team. In the age of platform engineering, when IDPs hold the promise of self-service computing for developers who want to elevate themselves above the distraction of working with operations to get their infrastructure provisioning handled in an abstracted and automated way, does this technology rock the house?"
"the team explain that the work here has stemmed from collaboration with incident management company PagerDuty, Koho ( a Canadian financial technology company), 2K Games and The Linux Foundation. As a reminder, Spotify Backstage is the company's open source technology framework for building IDPs that help manage and unify software development environments. As a further note, let's remember that IDPs are an elevation towards infrastructure abstractions designed to enable programmers to concentrate on building code and less time managing dependencies, interconnections and configurations."
Spotify has extended developer tools into Spotify Portal, an Internal Developer Platform built by the Backstage team to consolidate and unify development environments. The Portal aims to provide self-service infrastructure provisioning and abstractions so developers can focus on writing code rather than managing dependencies, interconnections and configurations. Development of the Portal involved collaboration with PagerDuty, Koho, 2K Games and The Linux Foundation. The initiative positions platform engineering as a way to change how engineering teams collaborate and innovate while acknowledging tensions between abstraction and developer needs. AI is highlighted as reshaping software delivery and increasing pressure to deliver faster.
