Summary

This article discusses integrating Backstage into a broader Developer Productivity Engineering (DPE) initiative. DPE focuses on simplifying developer tasks and promoting collaboration to enhance their experience. I explores how Backstage can contribute to DPE by centralizing the software ecosystem, integrating tools, and improving information retrieval. While Backstage offers benefits like a software catalog and automation through templates, it also has limitations, such as the need for dedicated resources and the lack of specific DPE plugins.
