⚡ Lightning Talk: Backstage Way of Cost Engineering: How To Save 30k USD and More - Long Zhang & Kristina Kondrashevich, Electrolux Group
Tuesday April 1, 2025 09:40 - 09:50 BST
Level 0 | ICC Capital Hall | Room 1
Electrolux has successfully adopted Backstage and developed numerous plugins to enhance their development workflow. One of their most significant plugins, designed for infrastructure management, has proven to be highly popular among developers. However, this success brought a new challenge: the potential for uncontrolled cloud spending as developers over-provisioned infrastructure.

To address this issue, Platform Team decided to integrate cloud cost visibility directly into Backstage. By developing the InfraWallet plugin, developers now can monitor their cloud spending within the familiar Backstage environment. This plugin, now open-sourced, offers a transparent view of cloud costs, enabling developers to make informed decisions and optimize their resource usage.

In this presentation, we will dive into the details of Electrolux's journey, exploring how they harnessed the power of Backstage helping developers to manage cloud costs efficiently.
