Building Developer Portals with Backstage and Amazon EKS Blueprints
AWS Open Source Blog
by Riccardo Freschi

The complexities of contemporary software development environments have led, in recent years, to the creation and adoption of Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs). IDPs’ purpose is to decrease the cognitive load for software developers, who have to use a large number of tools and products to perform their jobs. Such fragmentation causes time consuming context switches and steepens the learning curve for new joiners. IDPs address those drawbacks by providing a unified front-end, where the different tools and products are glued together and made available to the developer in a single catalog. Bac ..read more
