Are you a DevOps engineer looking to take your career to the next level? Are you curious about Platform Engineering and how Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) can revolutionize the way teams develop, deploy, and manage applications? If so, this course is designed for you!
This course will take you from DevOps to Platform Engineering by mastering Backstage, an open-source framework developed by Spotify, and integrating it with modern DevOps tools to build a fully functional Internal Developer Platform (IDP).
In this hands-on, project-based course, you will work on real-world DevOps projects, implementing automation and self-service workflows to streamline software delivery. By the end of this course, you will have gained practical experience in:
-
Building and deploying applications using Docker, Kubernetes, and ArgoCD
-
Automating CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions
-
Creating an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) using Backstage
-
Writing Documentation as Code with Backstage TechDocs
-
Implementing Software Templates for faster application deployments
-
Deploying Backstage in a production environment
This course is practical, hands-on, and beginner-friendly, ensuring that you learn by doing rather than just theory. No prior Platform Engineering experience is required, but a basic understanding of DevOps, CI/CD, and infrastructure management will be beneficial.
Join now and get ahead in the future of DevOps & Platform Engineering!
