Platform engineering: start from the backend!

Every Internal Developer Platform (IDP) needs a proper backend, and it’s vital to start by designing and building that before you worry about anything else. Join this session and learn more how to design your platform backend right, explore which options you have and how to mitigate the frontend trap aka starting with a portal.

Too many organizations get started on their platform engineering journey the wrong way around. Simply slapping a portal on top of your existing setup does NOT mean you are doing platform engineering (nor frankly solving any real issues for that matter).
In this webinar we’ll have a closer look at the backends of your Internal Developer Platform (IDP) and its crucial role to drive automation, standardization and developer self-service.
We will dive into:

• Why every IDP needs a backend
• Which options you have: pipeline based backends (CI/CD + IaC) vs. graph based backends (Platform Orchestrators)
• How enterprises use orchestration to standardize and automate their config setup

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.
