Building an Internal Developer Platform: Part 2 - Deploying a GO API with Backstage and ArgoCD
In the second part of our series on constructing an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) using GitOps, we focus on the developer's perspective, demonstrating the power and simplicity of deploying applications to a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. Following the foundation laid in Part 1, where we automated GKE cluster provisioning, we now explore how developers can leverage Backstage to scaffold and deploy a GO API application effortlessly.
Join us as we use Backstage to generate a new GO API project, push it to a GitHub repository, and automatically deploy it to our pre-configured GKE cluster using ArgoCD. This video showcases the seamless integration between development and operations, highlighting the efficiency and scalability of GitOps practices related to platform engineering.
What You'll Discover:
Step-by-step guidance on deploying applications using Backstage and ArgoCD
Insights into integrating development workflows with operational infrastructure
Practical tips for managing and updating applications in a cloud-native environment
