Each episode, your host Brian Teller walks through the latest outages, releases, tools, and incident writeups, then translates them into “here’s what this means for your systems” instead of just reading headlines. Expect a couple of main stories with context, a quick hit of tools or releases worth bookmarking, and the occasional segment on on-call, burnout, or team culture. This isn’t a certification prep show or a lab walkthrough. It’s aimed at people who are already working in the space and want to stay sharp without scrolling status pages, cloud updates, and blogs all week. You’ll hear about things like cloud provider incidents, Kubernetes and platform trends, Terraform and infrastructure changes, and real postmortems that are actually worth your time. Most episodes are 15–30 minutes, so you can catch up on the way to work or between meetings. Every now and then there will be a “special” focused on a big outage or a specific theme, but the default format is simple: what happened, why it matters, and what you might want to do about it in your own en…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T00:20:39.423055+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ship-it-weekly-devops-sre-platform-and-cloud-engineering-news-7591275"},"episode":{"title":"Ship It Conversations: David Tuite on Backstage, Internal Developer Portals, and the Shift to AI Agents","slug":"ship-it-conversations-david-tuite-on-backstage-internal-developer-portals-and-the-shift-to-ai-agents","published_at":"2026-04-06T02:10:43+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ship-it-weekly-devops-sre-platform-and-cloud-engineering-news-7591275/ship-it-conversations-david-tuite-on-backstage-internal-developer-portals-and-the-shift-to-ai-agents","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ship-it-weekly-devops-sre-platform-and-cloud-engineering-news-7591275","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/ship-it-weekly/2692568","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/356364/2692568/ship-it-weekly/2026_04_06_02_02_01_8dde2971-6f4e-433f-b45a-b62185609e57.mp3","summary":"This is a guest conversation episode of Ship It Weekly , separate from the weekly news recaps. In this Ship It: Conversations episode, I talk with David Chute, founder and CEO of Roadie, about internal developer portals, Backstage, automation, and how IDPs may evolve as AI agents become more common in engineering workflows. We talk about the difference between a platform and a portal, the three common problems IDPs usually try to solve, why discoverability tends to be the first pain teams feel, and why a lot of orgs should start with automation before trying to perfect a service catalog. We also get into self-hosted Backstage vs managed options, and how teams should think about adoption, data models, and time to value. The bigger theme is the one I found most interesting: IDPs may be shifting away from dashboard-heavy “single pane of glass” thinking and toward becoming context layers for workflows, terminals, and eventually agents. Highlights • The difference between an internal developer platform and an internal developer portal • The three common IDP problem areas: discoverability, automation, and guardrails • Why discoverability is usually the first pain teams feel • Why adoption is often more of a human problem than a technical one • Catalog completeness vs team ownership • Why a lot of teams should start with automation first • Self-hosted Backstage vs SaaS tradeoffs: extensibility, control, lock-in, and time to value • Why IDPs may move from dashboards to context delivery for humans and agents • Why AI helps teams build faster, but does not solve the problem of building the right thing • David’s advice for platform and DevEx teams: talk to your internal users first David’s links • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtuite/ Roadie / Backstage • Roadie: http…","meta_description":"This is a guest conversation episode of Ship It Weekly , separate from the weekly news recaps.
