Ben and Patrik, both maintainers on the popular open source project Backstage, will talk through the state of the project and the new features that are coming your way. Coming off the back of BackstageCON in Detroit, the Backstage maintainer team have been working hard to get the Backend System ready for rollout, and some new features for the Scaffolder. They will show in detail what these new features mean, and how you can start using them today to start to improve your Backstage deployment in your organization. Ben and Patrik will also dive into a little bit of what is next for Backstage and what you can expect to see in the coming year, and what they're excited for!
