Platform engineering is evolving from DevOps by creating organized internal platforms that reduce cognitive overload and improve efficiency through reusable capabilities, service compositions, and self-service workflows. Backstage, an open-source internal developer platform (IDP) initially developed by Spotify, centralizes tools and documentation, offering a unified developer experience. It abstracts complexity, enhancing developer productivity and governance. Komodor complements Backstage by integrating Kubernetes into IDPs, providing developers with real-time visibility and actionable insights for operational tasks. This integration reduces reliance on external tools and expertise, empowering developers to resolve issues independently while allowing platform teams to maintain control and enforce policies. The collaboration between Backstage and Komodor exemplifies how modern platforms can enhance developer autonomy and streamline workflows, ultimately supporting faster, safer software delivery with reduced friction.
