One central place: Simplify the engineering journey with Backstage and a service store

This session will demonstrate how Rabobank has transformed its engineering experience using One Central Place, a platform built on Backstage. The Service Store streamlines the ordering of standardized software assets, while enabling platform engineers to register services through a self-service model. Rob de Haan will share Rabobank’s journey in revolutionizing the engineering experience through One Central Place, built on Backstage. This platform unifies squad administration, software catalog insights, and compliance adherence in a single location. A key feature, the Service Store, powered by the Backstage scaffolder plugin, allows Rabobank’s 8000+ engineers worldwide to order standardized and compliant software assets. Platform engineers can register their services through a self-service model, reducing onboarding complexity and compliance friction. By simplifying processes and fostering a more cohesive development environment, One Central Place helps engineers focus on what they do best: building great software. Join us to learn how Rabobank integrates resources and drives engineering efficiency, creating a collaborative and streamlined experience for its development teams.
