Whether you’re working at a major financial institution or an audio streaming platform, it turns out engineering teams face a lot of the same challenges to doing their jobs effectively. In this episode, you’ll hear Spotify’s head of technology and platforms, Tyson Singer, discuss developer experience with engineering leaders from Expedia Group, Bank of the West, consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, and digital telecom TELUS — all adopters of Backstage, our open platform for building developer portals. This panel discussion took place on December 15, 2022 at the launch event for Spotify Plugins for Backstage, our new developer software bundle.
At the event, Tyson is joined on stage by Guillermo Manzo (Expedia Group), Boyan Vassilev (Bank of the West), Jason Miller (Booz Allen Hamilton), and Nate Axcell (TELUS) to talk about the costs of context switching, breaking down organizational silos, how to get your developers started and how to get them unstuck, open source, inner source, golden paths, and the importance of making sure the best way to do something is the easiest way to do something otherwise it just doesn’t get done.
