CNCF has released a documentary titled 'Backstage: From Spreadsheet to Standard,' chronicling the evolution of Backstage from an internal Spotify developer portal to a globally recognized open source standard for platform engineering. Originally created to reduce fragmentation and improve developer experience at Spotify, Backstage was contributed to CNCF in 2020 and has since grown to rank sixth in project velocity among over 230 CNCF projects by 2025. The documentary celebrates the open source community, contributors, and platform engineering teams that drove its adoption worldwide.
