04: Backstage in the Wild

Spotify believes open source is one way big tech companies and the wider developer community can solve big tech problems together. So how’s that going? In this episode, you’ll hear from our friends at Netflix and American Airlines — both early adopters of Backstage, our open platform for building developer portals.

At first, streaming video services and an airline may seem like two very different kinds of software engineering organizations. But as you’ll hear, we all have a lot in common when it comes to managing increasingly complex tech ecosystems and helping our fellow developers build great products.

Host and Spotify principal engineer Dave Zolotusky talks with Laurie Barth & Brian Leathem, both engineers on Netflix’s Platform Experience & Design team (PXD), and with Melinda Malmgren, principal tech lead for American Airlines’s DevOps team.

You’ll hear them discuss using Backstage to build their own developer portals and improve developer experience, how big problems require federated solutions, open source and inner source (and open sourcing inner source — stick with us, it’ll all make sense when you listen), plenty of fiddly implementation details (if you’re into that sort of thing), plus Lego and the state of competitive gymnastics (naturally!).
