Welcome to Episode 14 of DevOps Decrypted, where Romy, Rasmus, Jobin and Jon talk about platforms, people, and processes.

Just what exactly is a platform, and can we even define what an IDP is? Naturally, this leads onto the subject of Backstage – Spotify's gift to the dev world: an open source framework for building developer portals. We discuss its limits, its power, and how culture and people-driven your tech stack really is.

The talk turns to Google's Service Weaver, which Jon has some choice words for (and a little bit of praise, too!), before wrapping the show up with cloud complexity; is it really the cause of one in five cloud outages? Romy talks about some hands-on experience with increasingly complex cloud integrations and what happens when it all falls down.
