Backstage creates internal developer portals, simplifying infrastructure chaos. The CNCF recognized it as a top project, prompting Spotify to introduce premium offerings, including Backstage Insights and the managed SaaS Spotify Portal. These tools aim to support organizations lacking resources to set up their own systems efficiently and are anticipating a broader release soon.
