summary
Argues that internal developer platforms must deliver concrete automations not vague dashboards: uses Backstage with Backstage templates and proxies to create GitHub repos, open PRs and wire Terraform/Helm, and measures whether teams actually adopt them. Calls out recurring failures: poor observability (capacity and permissions), versioning of internal APIs, secret management, and cognitive overload. Reports many pilots ship but adoption stalls unless the platform provides a simple golden path and hides sandbox servers and secrets.
