Our devs do better with Backstage
At Spotify, high-frequency Backstage users deploy software more often in less time. These users are more active, report higher perceived productivity ratings, and stay at Spotify longer.
But don’t just take our word for it! Adopters like Toyota North American Motors haverun their own analysisand found huge savings (to the tune of $10M) with Backstage.
We found that engineers that use Backstage more often have 2.3x more developer activity in GitHub in the following six months than the bottom Backstage users.
We also saw that frequent Backstage users create over 2x more code changes than infrequent Backstage users. On top of that, these code changes take 17% less cycle time for more frequent Backstage users.
We found at Spotify that high frequency Backstage users deploy software to production 2x as often and their software stays deployed 3x as long. We believe that higher rates of deployments to production and longevity are indications of high code quality.
We found that employees that use Backstage more frequently are 5% more likely to be at Spotify 12 months later. For a team of 100 engineers, this is an increase in five full time employees (FTE). Keeping your developers happy matters.
Backstage works for orgs of all shapes and sizes
The Backstage open source framework has a flexible, plugin-based architecture, so it can be customized to the precise needs of your organization. We’ve already got some big namesonboard – from large, cloud-native orgs like our own, to fast-growing start-ups and Fortune 500s undergoing digital transformation.
