Constructing and managing platforms for diverse teams and workloads presents a significant challenge in today's cloud-native environment.
This session introduces the concept of composable platforms, using modular, reusable components as the foundation for platform engineering. You will see how using Kratix, a workload-centric framework, and Backstage, an extensible developer portal, enables the creation of self-service platforms that balance standardization with adaptability.
The session will detail platform design for developer workflows through Backstage, and using Kratix Promises for varied workload requirements and tailored "Golden Paths".
- Basic understanding of cloud-native concepts (e.g., Kubernetes, containerization)
- Familiarity with platform engineering (at least knowing what internal developer platforms are)
- Some exposure to developer portals (like Backstage) and why self-service matters
Attendees will gain practical insights into building scalable and maintainable platforms through real-world examples, architectural patterns, and a live demonstration of a fully integrated Kratix-Backstage deployment.
