Book Description
Modern development can be fraught with disparate development systems and distributed teams, and organizations with multiple development teams often struggle with competing priorities, diverse tools and technologies, and establishing best practices. A unified platform that can consolidate these elements of the development process and foster internal collaboration helps development teams focus on what really matters - writing high-quality code and accelerating application delivery.
Red Hat Developer Hub is an enterprise-grade, supported version of Backstage, an open source framework created by Spotify for building developer portals. Engineering teams can use Red Hat Developer Hub to reduce friction and frustration and boost their productivity, giving their organization a competitive advantage.
This developer's guide to developer portals offers insights in terms of Backstage and Red Hat Developer Hub, which together represent the pioneering implementation of developer portal concepts.
- Learn what an internal developer portal (IDP) is and the problems it addresses.
- Get an in-depth view of Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH), built around the open source Backstage core to implement an enterprise distribution of a platform for creating developer portals.
- Dive into the tools found in an RHDH instance and learn how to work with those tools to build an application.
- Understand the basics of Backstage Software Templates and the architecture of the example application.
