👋 Welcome to Backstage Weekly 113. We're dedicating this issue to everything going on in March and early April.
This week:
- State of Backstage: closing soon
- BackstageCon & KubeCon EU
- Roadie Local nears GA, Design Partnerships closing soon
State of Backstage: closing soon
The State of Backstage survey is winding down for 2025, so now is the time to fill it in if you haven't already.
The survey itself closes in April 2025.
We'll be analysing the results and publishing them via the stateofbackstage.io soon (those that filled in the survey will get an advanced copy before they're published to the wider community).
BackstageCon & KubeCon EU
Speaking of things that are coming very, very soon: BackstageCon & KubeCon EU in London is right around the corner.
We'll be there - Roadie founder David is on stage at BackstageCon to share what we've learned over the years about how to be successful with Backstage, as well talk what we have coming up next in Backstage-land. Roadie engineers will also be manning the booth at both BackstageCon and KubeCon.
We'll be at KubeCon booth N510.
Come say hello if you're in around. 👋
Roadie Local: Design Partnerships will be closing soon
For those that missed it: we're building a version of Roadie that you can run locally or on your own infrastructure. We call it Roadie Local.
That effort is now charging towards GA and so we're closing our call for Design Partners for the beta version soon. The first Design Partners are spinning up (on Azure DevOps Server mainly, if you'll believe it) and we've close to capacity for this tranche of testing and evaluation.
