Spotify is making waves in the enterprise and developer tooling space with its Backstage platform, originally introduced internally in 2016. Backstage powers customizable developer portals that consolidate various tools, data, services, and documents, attracting companies like LinkedIn and American Airlines. Spotify open-sourced Backstage in 2020 and has now monetized the platform with premium plug-ins. The company has introduced Spotify Portal, a simplified version designed for easier setup within a company’s ecosystem. Moving towards a managed product, Spotify is offering enterprise support and services, including tech support, SLAs, and consulting services. The shift to an enterprise-focused developer tools company signifies a significant change for Spotify.
