About this episode
Spotify has thousands of developers managing tens of thousands of software components. How do you even begin to manage all that complexity? If you’re Spotify, you build your very own developer portal — we call it Backstage. Wait, what’s a developer portal? Good question!
Host and Spotify principal engineer Dave Zolotusky will introduce you to Austin Lamon and Lee Mills, two members of the Backstage team at Spotify, who work on both the open source and internal versions of Backstage. Hear what it’s like to have your fellow developers as your “customers” — and also hear from two of those customers, Chantal Delfeld and Kana Abe, engineers who joined Spotify more recently. They tell us about their experience discovering all that is Backstage for the first time. Plus, hear what else the team is nerding out about in their spare time.
