Backstage's DevLake-to-DORA Plugin Puts a Standard DORA Card on Every Service — Here's What That Means for a Self-Hosted PaaS

A new DevLake-to-DORA backend module puts deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, and recovery time on every Backstage service page.

Devpush's No-Dockerfile Bet: What a Curl-Pipe Install Buys a Solo Python Dev, and Where It Runs Out

Devpush skips Dockerfiles entirely and installs with a curl-pipe-to-bash script on one box. A concrete look at what that buys a solo Python or Node developer's time-to-first-deploy, and the specific points — language support, background workers, a second machine — where the bet runs out.
