Standardization Versus Pet Technologies

Ryan welcomes Pia Nilsson, GM for Backstage and head of developer experience at Spotify, to discuss the evolution and adoption of Backstage, the impact of AI on dev experience, and how Spotify approaches platform engineering and standardization to help teams solve for specific needs. 

Episode notes: 

Backstage is an open-source IDP by Spotify that reduces everyday friction, cognitive overhead, and operational toil for developers.

We previously talked to the Backstage team in 2022.

Poor Ryan. If only he had Backstage at his last job.
