As developers, we all love a bit of magic, especially when it makes our jobs easier. What if spinning up an AI chatbot, fine-tuned model, or RAG-based API was as easy as summoning a spell?
In this session, we’ll show how Internal Developer Portals (like Backstage) can become your team’s Room of Requirement. With pre-built software templates, function-calling support, and multimodel deployment options, platform engineers can give developers everything they need: on demand, securely, and at scale.
Expect a live demo, practical takeaways using Kubernetes and Tekton, and appearances from Snape (security), McGonagall (governance), and Dobby (developer self-service).
Whether you’re building an AI platform or enabling teams to do so safely, this talk will help you turn your developer experience into something truly magical.
