Backstage is gaining wide adoption for platform engineering teams looking to build internal development platforms. After implementing Backstage, data has shown an improvement in 2X of code changes, and a decrease of 17% in cycle time making a huge impact on the business delivery pipeline for organizations. Backstage with its rich plugin ecosystem, makes it possible to get full troubleshooting and security coverage you need across your entire pipeline in a single dashboard and interface.

The need for automation is becoming more important day by day. The process of integrating written code with already working code and publishing new code to live environments is a very error-prone process. Performing static analysis, running tests, packaging, and versioning are tasks that require a lot of manual effort. It’s also a complex task to solve the problem of deploying the projects we develop to more than one environment, on more than one machine, without automation.

As with any distributed system, networking plays a fundamental role in Kubernetes. Whether it’s allowing containers on different nodes to communicate, exposing services to external clients, or managing the flow of data between pods, Kubernetes networking is at the heart of the Kubernetes ecosystem. Understanding this system is the key to keeping your deployments running smoothly.
