Unlocking platform engineer efficiency: Automation strategies with Backstage

Discover automation strategies to streamline platform engineering workflows for the cloud using Backstage. Learn the power of abstraction and flexible pipelines to achieve better orchestration.

In this session, attendees will explore advanced automation techniques and patterns for optimizing platform engineering. Using AWS cloud and GitLab pipelines as concrete examples, we'll explore building processes and workflows with Backstage to achieve flexible solutions that provide control to application developers and platform engineers.

From CI/CD integration to infrastructure provisioning, learn how to leverage automation to enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and accelerate time-to-market for your applications.
