From DevOps to Platform Engineering: Master Backstage & IDPs

Are you a DevOps engineer looking to advance your career and explore the exciting world of Platform Engineering? Discover how Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) are transforming software development, deployment, and management. This course guides you on a practical journey from DevOps to Platform Engineering by mastering Backstage, the powerful open-source framework from Spotify.

You'll learn to integrate Backstage with popular DevOps tools to build a fully functional Internal Developer Platform (IDP). This hands-on, project-based course focuses on real-world DevOps projects, emphasizing automation and self-service workflows to optimize software delivery.

Here's what you'll gain practical experience in:

• Docker & Kubernetes: Building and deploying applications with industry-standard containerization technologies.
• ArgoCD: Automating application deployments for continuous delivery.
• CI/CD Pipelines: Automating your software delivery process using GitHub Actions.
• Internal Developer Platform (IDP) Development: Hands-on creation of an IDP using Backstage.
• Backstage TechDocs: Writing documentation as code with Backstage TechDocs.
• Software Templates: Implementing software templates for accelerated application deployments.
• Production Deployment: Deploying Backstage in a production environment.

This course is designed to be beginner-friendly and practical, prioritizing hands-on learning over theoretical concepts. While no prior Platform Engineering experience is required, a foundational understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, and infrastructure management will enhance your learning.

Important: This course requires downloading Docker from the official Docker Repositories and images from Docker Hub. Udemy Business users, please consult with your employer regarding software downloads.
