New updates from Red Hat Developer Hub, an internal portal for developers who work with a business market, based on the Backstage project, have just been made available by Red Hat. The resources, delivered with the general availability of the Red Hat Developer Hub 1.5, They are designed to accelerate the adoption of technologies within organizations and provide a more personalized experience to further enhance the productivity and efficiency of developers.
Currently, organizations are increasingly focusing on delivering better customer experiences through smart apps, including AI-enabled and EDGE-enabled applications — however, these applications can be complex and time-consuming to develop. As companies prepare their infrastructure and tools for an AI-focused future, internal developer portals help overcome the complexity associated with smart applications and maximize the skills needed by developers to increase productivity. Recent improvements in the Red Hat Developer Hub are aimed more at than fulfilling this promise, optimizing the developer experience and helping to accelerate the time-to-market.
For Balaji SivaSubramanian, Senior Director of Tools for Developers at Red Hat, in addition to breaking technical barriers, updates promise a customized experience for organizations. “The latest features of Red Hat Developer Hub were designed not only to help organizations increase the adoption and efficiency of technologies, but also ensure a more personalized portal, providing developers with direct access to the tools, models and components they need to drive innovation,” he said.
Detailed data and analysis
The broad adoption of an internal developer portal is one of the fastest ways to streamline application development and improve the productivity of developers in an organization. On the other hand, the information within these environments is not always easily accessible to actually determine who is accessing and how a portal is being used.
like adoption insights, available as a preview for the developer, platform engineers have access to a detailed analytics panel on how development teams are using the Red Hat Developer Hub within their organizations. These insights allow teams not only to focus on areas of success, but also better understand where improvements can be made — helping to boost adoption and strengthen engagement..
The dashboard offers a detailed view of templates and plugins that are being regularly used, visiting metrics, usage, and more, facilitating data-based decision making, improving the user experience and ultimately increasing the overall productivity of developers.
Simplified customization through dynamic plugins
No organization addresses application development in the same way and, as such, they need access to tailor-made tools and custom components to better meet needs. com o red hat developer hub extensions catalog, available as a previous to the developer, users have access to a catalog of community plugins and verified by Red Hat.
The Extension Catalog provides information about more than 60 dynamic plugins, all available through a simplified interface for a better user experience. With access to plugins, organizations have greater control and flexibility to customize the Red Hat Developer Hub portal according to their specific needs. In addition, with the dynamic plugin structure in the Red Hat Developer Hub, teams can manage any plugin, including custom ones, from the runtime, without the need to reformulate the portal. This makes significantly faster and easier to integrate new tools and courses for developers.
Agile changes in service through local development tools
Red Hat Developer Hub also offers a local version of the rhdh location. With the preview already available to the developer, the solution allows platform engineers to execute a lightweight and independent version of the Red Hat Developer Hub on their physical machines, allowing users to make changes to their portal more quickly and easily, with a more agile life cycle.
With local RHDH, users can work on models, test plugins, validate software catalogs, and more without having to install Red Hat Developer Hub on a Kubernetes cluster. As it runs in a container environment, users can launch the local RHDH in seconds and turn it off as quickly. By allowing users to perform iterations faster and trigger the troubleshoot Locally before deploying changes to a production system, local RHDH helps to increase the day-to-day efficiency of developers and simplify the user experience.
