At BackstageCon 2024, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to share how Quantum Metric has maximized the value of its Internal Developer Platform (IDP) by leveraging Backstage. For those who couldn’t attend, I’ve consolidated the key insights here in written format.

We will cover:
- Our journey in rethinking platform strategy and selecting Backstage as our IDP.
- An overview of custom plugins we’ve built, highlighting our approach to defining key metrics and validating their impact.
- Key themes and takeaways that have been instrumental for our team and can provide value at any stage of your IDP journey.
