Platform Engineering Services
Building Developer-Centric Internal Platforms with Backstage
Modern software organizations need more than just infrastructure—they need comprehensive Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) that enable self-service capabilities, standardize workflows, and accelerate delivery. At Dhristhi, our Platform Engineering services specialize in building robust, scalable platforms centered around Backstage and modern DevOps practices. We help organizations move beyond basic developer portals to create comprehensive ecosystems that improve developer experience, reduce cognitive load, and enable teams to ship faster with confidence.
Our Approach
Platform Strategy & Architecture
Designing Your Developer Platform Foundation
We start by understanding your development workflows and designing a platform architecture that serves your specific needs:
- Developer Journey Mapping: Analyzing current developer workflows, pain points, and identifying opportunities for self-service automation.
- Platform Architecture Design: Creating scalable, modular platform architectures that integrate with your existing tools and infrastructure.
- Governance Framework: Establishing policies, standards, and guidelines that enable autonomy while maintaining security and compliance.
- Technology Selection: Choosing the right mix of tools and technologies that align with your organization's technical stack and culture.
Backstage Implementation & Customization
Building Your Developer Portal Foundation
We implement and customize Backstage to create a unified developer experience:
- Software Catalog Setup: Creating comprehensive service catalogs with metadata, ownership, and dependency management.
- Custom Plugin Development: Building organization-specific plugins that integrate with your internal tools and systems.
- TechDocs Integration: Implementing docs-as-code workflows with automated documentation generation and publishing.
- Scaffolder Templates: Creating golden path templates for new services, applications, and infrastructure components.
Self-Service Capabilities
Enabling Developer Autonomy
We build comprehensive self-service capabilities that reduce bottlenecks and improve developer productivity:
- Infrastructure as Code: Implementing automated infrastructure provisioning with guardrails and cost controls.
- CI/CD Pipeline Automation: Creating standardized deployment pipelines with quality gates and security scanning.
- Environment Management: Building self-service environment creation and management capabilities.
- Monitoring & Observability: Integrating comprehensive monitoring, logging, and alerting into the platform experience.
Adoption & Optimization
Driving Platform Success
We ensure successful platform adoption and continuous improvement:
- Change Management: Implementing strategies to drive developer adoption and overcome resistance to new workflows.

Methodologies and Tools
Platform-as-Product Approach
Treating Your Platform as an Internal Product
We apply product management principles to platform development, focusing on user (developer) needs, measuring success metrics, and iterating based on feedback. This ensures your platform delivers real value and achieves high adoption rates.
Community-Driven Development
Building with the Backstage Ecosystem
We leverage the extensive Backstage plugin ecosystem and contribute back to the community. Our team stays current with Backstage development and best practices, ensuring your platform benefits from ongoing innovation.
Security & Compliance by Design
Built-in Governance and Security
We implement security and compliance controls directly into the platform, making it easy for developers to do the right thing by default. This includes automated security scanning, policy enforcement, and audit trail capabilities.
