Most InnerSource patterns and best practices assume that all projects within an organization should be hosted on a single, unified developer platform like GitHub Enterprise, with all developers and stakeholders contributing to it. However, large enterprises often face challenges in providing such a universal platform due to financial constraints, feature limitations, historical reasons, and other specific requirements. These challenges result in fragmented developer platforms that are not inclusive of all members and are not conducive to InnerSource activities. In this session, we will discuss the introduction of an InnerSource portal with a software catalog and other special capabilities to address and mitigate these issues. You will learn how to implement this portal using a customized version of Backstage, an open-source framework for building developer portals, based on our platform engineering project.
