Democratizing Developer Experience - Ryan Emerle, Comcast

This talk covers how a small team at Comcast is leveraging Backstage's extensibility to fuel its burgeoning developer experience efforts with a developer-focused platform called DevHub. Comcast's unique ecosystem provides a number of challenges, and in addressing these challenges, we'll explore how one small team leverages the varied talent and expertise of hundreds of teams through an extensibility program. How do we provide the best developer experience for contributors to our platform? How do we ensure a consistent user experience? How are extensions promoted from inner-source to open-source? We'll answer these questions and explore how empowering developers across an enterprise to extend and customize a single shared instance of Backstage is proving paramount to democratizing the enhancement of the developer experience.
