Red Hat Expands Developer Hub to Accelerate Adoption

The world's top supplier of open-source software, Red Hat, Inc., revealed updates and new features for Red Hat Developer Hub, the company's enterprise-level internal developer portal built on the Backstage project.

With Red Hat Developer Hub 1.5 now generally available, the new capabilities are intended to boost developer productivity and efficiency by accelerating adoption across enterprises and providing a more personalized experience.

Delivering improved customer experiences through intelligent applications, such as edge and AI-enabled apps, is becoming more and more important to businesses; but, developing these apps may be difficult and time-consuming. Internal developer portals assist in reducing the complexity of intelligent apps and optimizing the developer skills required to boost productivity as businesses get ready for an AI-focused future with their infrastructure and tools. By improving the developer experience and assisting in time-to-market acceleration, the most recent Red Hat Developer Hub improvements aim to better fulfill that commitment.

One of the simplest methods to increase developer productivity and expedite application development within a business is to implement an internal developer portal widely. However, information on portal usage has not always been readily available to ascertain who is using a portal and how.

Platform engineers are given access to an analytical dashboard that shows how development teams are utilizing Red Hat Developer Hub inside their company with Adoption Insights, which is available as a developer preview. In addition to concentrating on areas of success, these insights assist teams in better recognizing areas for improvement, which promotes adoption and increases engagement.

With the dashboard's comprehensive view of frequently used templates and plugins, visit and usage data, and much more, companies can make informed decisions to improve user experience and, eventually, developer productivity.
