The Room of Requirements for Developers: Scaling AI Magic with Internal Portals
summary
Shows that a developer portal (Backstage with dynamic plugins) plus YAML blueprints actually spins up a sovereign chatbot in minutes: the demo scaffolds source and GitOps repos, deploys a Mistral/Granite model on Kubernetes/OpenShift, and exposes the app URL. Platform pieces: Backstage with dynamic plugins, Tekton CI, Argo CD GitOps, image signing, SBOM checks and RBAC. Blueprints limit model choices to vetted options, create audit trails for model and infra changes, and the approach works end-to-end in the live demo.
