PagerDuty x Backstage: Developer Experience, Automated

Join PagerDuty and Backstage by Spotify for an evening of knowledge sharing, exploring how modern engineering teams can achieve peak performance through seamless integration of developer productivity and incident response.
 

As organizations strive to deliver seamless digital experiences, developer productivity and service reliability are more critical than ever. That's why the partnership between PagerDuty and Spotify Backstage is transforming the way engineering teams operate. We spoke with leaders from both organizations to explore how bringing PagerDuty's real-time incident response directly into Backstage's unified developer portal is helping customers streamline workflows, reduce context switching, and empower teams to resolve issues faster—so they can focus on delivering innovation.
