Concept for systematically providing and operating internal platforms that offer developer teams self-service, governance, and reusable platform products.
Platform enablement describes strategies and structures that help internal platforms productively support developer teams, using platform teams, self-service, governance and tooling to improve reuse, security and delivery. The focus is on organizational coordination and standardized platform products rather than bespoke infrastructure solutions. The goal is higher developer productivity and faster time-to-market.
Number of deployments per time period as an indicator of agility
Time to recover from incidents measured across platform services
Time until a new team is productive with the platform
Backstage consolidates services, documentation and templates into a platform product to improve developer productivity.
Central pipelines and policies reduce configuration effort and increase consistency across teams.
Automated policy checks in the platform prevent recurring security mistakes.
Create vision and operating model
Implement and test minimal platform core
Iteratively expand with feedback loops and metrics
