Thursday April 3, 2025 11:00 - 12:15 BST

Join us for an engaging session on Backstage, a CNCF project that powers Internal Developer Portals with its rich plugin ecosystem. We’ll guide you through setting up your environment with tools like Node.js and TypeScript, introduce you to the Backstage Contributing Guide, and help you explore beginner-friendly GitHub issues with expert support.

For more seasoned Backstage developers, use this session to create a plugin and extend Backstage’s functionality. Engage with maintainers, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into the project. Whether you’re new or experienced, this is your chance to make an impact and contribute to the Backstage community!
