What is This Tech Insights Anyways? - Jussi Hallila & Irma Solakovic, Roadie

Demos of tech insights show how you can track and visualize the engineering standards using Backstage and what benefits those can provide for your company. In this talk, we’ll take a deep dive into the tech insights present in the open source Backstage codebase to show you how to set it up to enable it to help manage your tech health. You will learn what are the moving parts that build up the whole concept of tech insights. Jussi will demonstrate what are the possibilities with the current architectural design of the feature. You will also learn how to extend the built-in functionality to provide your own data sources, your own components to visualize tech insight data and how to drive your company’s engineering standards with tech insights. At the end of the talk, you will have seen practical examples of the capabilities of the tech insights functionality and how those are built. With the knowledge gained from this presentation, you should be comfortable extending the functionality present in the open source project and mold it to satisfy your needs.
