In a recent fireside chat, I delved into the intriguing convergence of Terraform and Backstage, two pivotal technologies reshaping the landscape of platform engineering. This session was particularly exciting as I had a special guest, Seve Kim, a product manager from Backstage, joining Abby Bangser and me! 

Although the chat only lasted 30 minutes, we covered much ground. We explored the layers of platform architecture, talked about the goals of platform engineering, and discussed how best to leverage open-source tools like Backstage, Kratix, and Terraform to create robust, scalable internal developer platforms.
