Coder with Backstage: The missing link in developer productivity


Details
Platform engineering is having its moment. Developer tools like Spotify's Backstage solve the problem of discoverability in large engineering teams by providing a one-stop source of truth through developer portals. But what then? How do you go from finding a repo to committing a PR in the shortest time possible? Coder has the solution – bring CDEs to Backstage.
Join this webinar to learn:
- The problem of discoverability in large companies and how solutions like Backstage solve it by centralizing and organizing everything under one developer portal.
- The “gap” that still exists between discovering something you need to work with and actually writing code. How do you get your environment set up? How do you ensure security? These questions don’t always have obvious answers, especially for engineers who don’t have a platform engineering background.
- How Coder’s plugin for Backstage lets developers close that gap and get up and running with a new repo in no time
After a 30-minute talk there’ll be a 15-minute Q&A, for which we encourage you to submit questions in advance.
A webinar recording and related materials will be shared with all attendees after the event.
