Building an InnerSource Portal to Enhance Developer Experience
summary
Comcast builds an InnerSource Marketplace as a Backstage plugin that lifts an existing metrics dashboard (stars, PR counts) into the main developer portal, launched around July, to improve discoverability and contribution flow; it aggregates data across 9,000 technologists and ~2,000 GitHub repos with roughly 5,050 InnerSource projects, reports early positive uptake, and aims to boost reuse and cross-team collaboration while remaining an evolving, not-yet full‑time staffed, platform.
