[Webinar] What it really takes to build an Internal Developer Platform with Backstage
A webinar with Kelsey Hightower and OpenChoreo maintainers on why Backstage alone isn't enough, and how a control plane (like OpenChoreo) solves the messy middle problem by separating the developer experience layer from platform orchestration.

Jenkins + OpenChoreo: Adopt a modern Internal Developer Platform (IDP) Without Replacing Your CI System
How OpenChoreo's external CI integration lets Jenkins teams keep their pipelines, plugins, and shared libraries as-is while adding environment management, self-service promotion, multi-cluster deployment, and observability via a single API call at the end of the build.

Zero-Trust Developer Platforms with Cilium Network Policies
How internal developer platforms can enforce zero-trust security by default on Kubernetes using identity-based Cilium network policies instead of IP-based rules.

Cloud Native Platform Sovereignty Through Multi-Plane Architecture
Separating control, runtime, observability, and workflow responsibilities across distinct planes helps keep workloads within jurisdictional boundaries, reduce vendor dependence, and strengthen digital sovereignty under regulations such as the EU Data Act and NIS2.

Hands-On with OpenChoreo: Deploying on GKE and Running a Microservices Demo
A step-by-step walkthrough of installing OpenChoreo on a GKE Standard cluster and deploying a microservices demo — showing how the Control, Data, Workflow, and Observability planes work together and how the built-in SRE Agent helps debug a database outage.
