What We Learned During Our Journey in Using Backstage at DAZN - Marco Crivellaro, DAZN Getting Backstage up and running locally is pretty easy, however, this is just the first step of a long journey that presents some challenges. To get the most out of Backstage, you will need to find the best way to populate its software catalog based on your company's needs and you will have to choose which plugins to use to make it effective. Another important aspect that will present its own challenges is how to capture engineers’ interests and drive its adoption across the engineering community. This talk will present how we implemented Backstage at DAZN, it will touch on the technical and social challenges that we faced and how we overcame them. We will also see how we are leveraging Backstage to foster contributions for both internal and open source plugins.
