KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 — Solo.io, the leading cloud-native application networking company, announced the release of Spotlight Developer Platform, a state-of-the-art internal developer portal (IDP) designed to streamline and enhance development and operations. An enterprise-grade distribution based on the open source IDP, Backstage, Spotlight provides a comprehensive platform for developers to access services, software components, and tools throughout the software development lifecycle.
Platform engineering has become the go-to strategy for scaling cloud-native systems efficiently. According to Gartner, Inc., 80% of large software engineering organizations will establish platform engineering teams as internal providers of reusable services, components and tools for applications. This proliferation can be attributed in part to organizations recognizing the need for enhanced developer workflows, experience, and delivery speed.
“As our customers’ usage of Kubernetes and service mesh matures, they’re becoming increasingly interested in adopting more sophisticated development operational practices like platform engineering,” said Idit Levine, CEO and Founder of Solo.io. “While Backstage is a preferred choice within the ecosystem for scaling cloud-native systems, organizations often struggle to access the expertise required to get beyond the initial installation and actually operationalizing it and integrating it with all their systems. With Solo.io’s Spotlight Developer Platform, we’re streamlining that process and dramatically shortening the time to value in an effort to accelerate our customers’ journey toward engineering excellence.”
With Spotlight Developer Platform, Solo.io addresses the complexity that comes with scaling development and operations in cloud-native environments. Spotlight aims to enhance the developer experience through a unified, intuitive interface for delivering platforms as a product; bolster efficiency and productivity by optimizing development workflows and standardizing development and operation processes; and facilitate informed decision-making through increased visibility and control.
Solo.io is attending KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024 in Paris, France as a Platinum sponsor, and the team will present at six sessions. Solo.io is also attending Cilium + eBPF Day on March 19th as a Diamond sponsor, with a keynote by Idit Levine, and BackstageCon on March 19th as a Gold sponsor.
