--- title: Tickets Bad! Self-Service Good! Build Developer Infrastructure Portals That Scale description: Modern software delivery demands a delicate balance between developer autonomy and infrastructure governance. As organizations scale, the complexity of managing services, environments, and infrastructure increases—often resulting in bottlenecks, inconsistent practices, and reduced developer velocity. This webinar explores how the Backstage system model can serve as a foundational framework to simplify infrastructure access, improve visibility across teams, and enable true self-service in a controlled, scalable way. image: https://webinars.techstronglearning.com/hubfs/2025.08.12-Stackgen-Social-1080x1080%20(2)-1.png --- Tickets Bad!

If so, you're not alone. This growing pain is pushing organizations to rethink how infrastructure is delivered. In this session, Futurum analyst Guy Currier will host a discussion with Dharani Vijaykumar, Principal PM at StackGen, and Arunav Sarkar, Solutions Engineer at StackGen. Together, they’ll explore practical strategies for building scalable developer portals that eliminate bottlenecks while preserving enterprise-grade security and governance. Learn how platform teams are using frameworks like Backstage to deliver developer-friendly infrastructure experiences. You’ll see real-world examples of template-driven provisioning, integration strategies, and architecture patterns that separate successful platforms from expensive experiments. **Register now**—you’ll gain insights on how to turn your infrastructure delivery from reactive to proactive and give developers the autonomy they need to ship faster: - How to design self-service workflows that give developers autonomy without sacrificing governance - Real-world models for representing complex systems and service relationships in your developer portal - Integration strategies for connecting Terraform, Helm, and other IaC tools to your portal - Ways to standardize provisioning across teams while supporting flexibility and scale - Case studies showing faster onboarding, fewer tickets, and better developer experiences. # Register Below: We'll send you an email confirmation ![Dharani-modified](https://webinars.techstronglearning.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dharani-modified.png?width=441&height=441&name=Dharani-modified.png "Dharani-modified") ### Dharani Vijayakumar ###### Principal Product Manager - StackGen Currently product lead at StackGen for core experiences across cloud discovery, lifecycle management, & governance.
