CNCF accepts Backstage as incubating project

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has voted to accept a new platform for building developer portals as an incubating project. Backstage enables developers to bring together their organization’s tooling, services, apps, data, and documentation into a single UI. 

The project has its origins at Spotify. In 2016 the company was growing quickly and struggling to onboard engineers fast enough to meet its needs. Creating Backstage enabled Spotify engineers to be more productive and work faster.

After using it internally for a few years, Spotify open-sourced the project in March 2020 and then later that year in September it entered the CNCF Sandbox. 

Since joining the CNCF Backstage has seen growth across its core components and features. Maintainers have focused efforts into updating, refining, documenting, deprecating and stabilizing core components in advance of the 1.0 release of the Core Framework, which is still upcoming. The Core Framework includes the Software Catalog, Software Templates, TechDocs, and API Reference. 

Backstage is currently in use publicly at over 100 companies, including American Airlines, HelloFresh, Netflix, Wayfair, and more. 

“It’s amazing to see organizations from vastly different industries adopting Backstage as their development platform and working together at making the developer experience better for everyone,” said Johan Haals, senior site reliability engineer at Spotify. “Our community has grown tremendously this past year, and I’m excited for the efforts the community is bringing to increase the project’s velocity.”

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
