Enabling developers while sustaining growth with Backstage

Description:

Lunar has experienced extreme growth in the engineering organization and have been required to find solutions on how to keep engineers productive, informed and confident in all aspects of the full development cycle.

Lunar reached for CNCF sandbox project Backstage to help create a developer portal where all relevant information is collected from external sources, eg. repositories from GitHub. Common functionality is also made available through the web UI of Backstage like message reconstitution and message dead lettering. Lastly the powerful scaffolding engine is used to create new services in less than 5 minutes with everything needed to release to production.
