docs: Adopter spotlight about Dynatrace adopting Backstage

Open johannes-b opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hey, I just made a Pull Request!

Dear Backstage community, I would love to get this blog post published on https://backstage.io/blog/ to tell Dynatrace`s story about Backstage.

Blog post about Dynatrace adopting and extending Backstage

To enhance the developer experience, Dynatrace adopted Backstage as its central developer portal and enhances Backstage entities with real-time data. This decision, along with the symbiosis between the Dynatrace platform and Backstage, has unlocked two significant opportunities.

  • First, centralizing all development-related artifacts and democratizing ownership have reduced onboarding time for our teams.
  • Second, we enhanced the developer experience by integrating observability and security data into Backstage, offering seamless entry points to Dynatrace for in-depth analysis.

:point_right: This blog post reveals how and why Dynatrace started to use Backsage. :point_right: Additionally, it lays out how Dynatrace extended Backstage to bring real-time data in context of service catalog entities in Backstage.

Hello @freben and @camilaibs :raising_hand:

Yesterday, I created this PR to contribute a blog post to the Backstage blog. I hope this is the right process therefore. :)

  • May I kindly ask you for your support to get this blog post published.
  • Would it be possible to get a Backstage-branded image like in this blog: https://backstage.io/blog/2024/06/27/backstage-engineer-journey

Thanks in advance.

Alright! Content wise we're happy! Were you still having an ask on hero image or similar, or shall we merge this as is?

freben avatar Sep 30 '24 12:09 freben

Thanks for the review! Correct, I`m wondering how I can get such a nice hero image (those Backstage-branded once) the other blog posts have in place, e.g., The adopter spotlight for CTC (https://backstage.io/blog/2023/09/29/chicago-traiding-company-adopter-spotlight)

Can some create such an image?

Alright, we'll look into that and get back to you!
